Report: Innovation is 6 times higher at companies where men and women are treated most equally via CNBCMakeIt

div > div.group > p:first-child"> Accenture surveyed over 18,000 workers in 27 countries, including more than 150 C-suite-level executives, and found that at organizations that treat women and men more equally, innovation was significantly higher than at those that do not.

This claim was backed-up by employee responses. About 40 percent of those from the most equal organizations said"nothing stops me from innovating," compared to just 7 percent from those with high levels of inequality. An overwhelming 95 percent of business leaders see innovation as vital to competitiveness and business viability and 91 percent of workers want to be innovative, but in practice, most organizations fall short. Seventy-six percent of business leaders told Accenture that they regularly empower employees to be innovative but only 42 percent of workers agree.

MakeIt I don’t see a correlation. Innovation is not gender specific and does not flow from sex hormones. Idiotic use of statistics.

MakeIt Report: invention/innovation is never achieved in groups or teams, especially large groups or teams, because the majority of the people are not very smart. Most invention/innovation came from individuals working alone! No hate, just truth. Huzzah!

MakeIt This just in: people grow in a loving environment! Duh!
