This reflection is designed to follow reading LA Times Perspective: A solution to tech’s lingering diversity problem? Try thinking about ketchup
1 The author argues that tech companies with diverse teams have an advantage. Why?
2 What suggestions did the article offer for tech companies looking to diversify their teams?
3 What is one thing of interest to you in the author’s bio?
4 Think of a time when you had an idea that felt out of the box. Did you share your idea? Why or why not?
5 Can you think of a time when someone else had a strategy or idea that you would never have thought of, but was interesting to you and/or pushed your thinking to a new level?
6 Based on your experience of exceptions to mainstream assumptions, propose another pair of questions that could be used in place of "Where do you keep your ketchup?" and "What would you reach for instead?".
