In fact, there are many examples throughout history of groups coming together to affect positive change.You’ll explore the effects of groupthink, both negative and positive, with a focus on how it affects diversity in the workplace. Then, you’ll look at alternatives to groupthink and how an organisation can best transition to a more diverse approach to group thinking.Analyse the current state of diversity in the workplaceThe creative industry can’t expect to create inclusive work if it’s not inclusive.

You’ll then discuss ways to shape an organisation’s structure to better avoid groupthink.Discover strategies to mitigate groupthinkAt the end of this course, you’ll learn how to create solutions to mitigate or foster different forms of groupthink on management, team, and individual levels, and then how to apply and encourage your methods.This course is designed for anyone wanting to contribute to and foster diversity in their processes, specifically within creative industries.You may find it especially useful if you’re looking to hire a diverse team, whether you’re the founder of a creative start-up, part of a HR team, or in a senior leadership position at a creative agency.
