Diversity is the fact of many different types of things or people or businesses or ideas or opinions about something existing together in an entity.

As a specialised business term, diversity describes a workplace that includes:

① people from various backgrounds and cultures, and/or

② diverse businesses.

"Integrated diversity" is a term used by Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE, to define a synergistic learning culture.

Most successful companies don't identify diversities as inconsistencies and drive them out. They build a sustainable business by synergizing diversities .  They break silos and and achieve the benefit of the sum being greater than its parts.
