Diversity is the nature of humanity, of men and women whose profiles are highly different. The same applies to the structure, behavior and results of how they interrelate, the institutions they create, and the governance tools they use. This evidence is an axiom of everything that concerns humanity. Globalization has brought together people and their differences to act in a unique, dynamically diverse space in constant transformation. Including these diversities is key to the sustained development of organizations, regions and nations. In the nineteen fifties and sixties of the ninetieth century, the scientific community established that Diversity would be the distinguishing factor of the twenty-first century, with Albermathy and Utterback in the forefront, among other researchers. The science of Diversity emerged. And so, the development of intelligence would be critical to understand and manage the behavior of men and women as they move forward in search of a sustainable future. In the eighties, the scientific community —Johnston and Packer (1987), among others— not only further researched the concept of Diversity but also established that it is responsible for the generation of conflicts at global, local and group levels in this century. Later, in the nineties, further analyzing the consequences, researchers such as Cox and Blake identified Diversity as the main generator of innovation. Diversity, therefore, is the key factor for organizations to develop inclusive policies that enhance the value of difference with the aim of turning it into an advantage and not as a menace to people and the institutions they govern.
