17 – The Embracing Diversity Principle

David and Lily discuss the principle Embracing Diversity: “This principle expresses the company’s approach to complex problems. It emphasises the value placed on diversity in building stable solutions.”

David explains that this principle goes beyond hiring diverse staff; it encompasses the company’s approach to tackling complex problems by valuing diverse perspectives, work areas, and types of work. David notes that while embracing diversity makes scaling more challenging, it leads to more stable and resilient solutions. The principle is integral to IDEMS’ identity, promoting sustainable and impactful growth despite the inherent challenges.
