It works when a group treats variety as a resource to combine rather than a threat to erase, and keeps cooperating across those lines.
When to use it
- A city council seats voices from every neighborhood and finds the budget serves more people because of it.
- A startup with staff across five countries turns its mix of viewpoints into sharper product decisions.
- A community choir blends very different voices into one sound without asking anyone to sing the same part.
