Diversity is positively correlated with innovation
(Miller & del Carmen, 2009)
Mixed gender teams in the United States produce patents that are cited 26 to 42 percent more frequently
than the average (Nielsen & Huse 2010)
The proportion of women directors is linked to reduced conflict &
increased board development efforts (Ashcroft & Breitzman, 2007)
Companies with women CEOs, women in upper management ranks and on boards experience better financial
performance (Kotiranta, Kovalainen & Rouvinen, 2007)
Gender-diverse boards increase corporate reputation (Brammer, Millington, & Pavelin, 2009).

sans diversity, we limit the set of life experiences that are applied, and as a result, we pay an opportunity cost a cost in products not built, in designs not considered, in constraints not understood, in processes not invented Bill Wulf

The TGM program has been a wonderful way to learn how to develop and idea and use technology to create
something meaningful to the community.
Emma has learnt so many useful skills along the way, ranging from sorting
through ideas, analysing and presenting data. We have had
fantastic coaches and mentors so thank you for all your hard work.
