Besides demographic, how can we improve DEI?

Besides being demographically diverse, companies should look into integrating cognitively diverse talents. Creativity is one aspect to consider; creative companies outperform by 74% more organic revenue growth than peers.

There is a strong correlation between high performance and cognitive diversity. Teams that consist of individuals with more cognitively diverse (higher standard deviation in both knowledge processes and perspective) had shorter times and higher success rates in completing the tasks given.

From the DEI perspective, selecting candidates from different educational backgrounds and countries of study gathers diverse talents with unique creativity and cognitive abilities.
