My issue, however is how they define "diversity".<br /><br />There is no question that having people from a wealth of backgrounds and experiences wides the pool of ideas and will lead to better brainstorming and better solutions. However, you can't take 50 people from the exact same type of background who just happen to be the same gender or the same color and then say "look! Diversity".<br /><br />The kid from appalacia who grew up in a one room cabin is also diverse...but you don't get a plus to your diversity tracker for him now, do you?ActusRhesusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-19256045066526314422010-03-04T16:13:57.000-05:002010-03-04T16:13:57.000-05:00A "caption contest" for three empty chai...A "caption contest" for three empty chairs?

Look how thick the binder is in front of them. <br /><br />That is a VIP full color hard copy (yikes..look at all that blue ink) of the PPT that is being given. One slide per page. That look like a 50-70 page brief depending on the paper they are using.<br /><br />What is the TAD (Travel Costs+Per Diem) cost per page of PPT for that briefing. Oh, add the cost of support as well.
