De la contraportada

The Neurodiversity Edge introduces a transformative framework for addressing the most important human resources opportunity of the 21st century.

From renowned Oxford-trained cognitive scientist, neurodiversity expert, and neurodivergent business leader, Dr. Maureen Dunne, this trailblazing guide presents a groundbreaking new approach for bridging the staggering divide between organizations starved for motivated workers and the enormous untapped talent pool defined by cognitive differences—the 15-20% of the global population comprised of the autistic, ADHDers, the dyslexic, synesthetes, the dyspraxic, and others with neurological differences.

Attempts to implement neuroinclusion at scale have overwhelmingly failed at the hands of overgeneralized “check the box” strategies that dive no deeper than superficial accommodation. Dr. Dunne exposes this fundamental misunderstanding of the problem and why outcomes range from uninspiring to disastrous for organizations while still failing to serve the legions of underemployed neurodivergent jobseekers with dignity, economic opportunity, and authentic inclusion.

The Neurodiversity Edge challenges this flawed paradigm and unveils a revolutionary new framework. The result is a bold vision that reframes the problem and charts a new values-driven approach leveraging universal design principles centered on cognitive diversity as an essential driver of innovation, groupthink immunity, team performance, motivation, and loyalty.

Weaving practical strategies with vivid real-world examples, Dr. Dunne leverages more than two decades of immersive cognitive science research, case studies, stories from neurodivergent voices, in-the-trenches work with hundreds of organizations from start-ups to global Fortune 500 titans, and her own lived experience as a neurodivergent employer, entrepreneur, board member, and CEO.

Drawing on psychology, economics, business management, philosophy, and organizational behavior, The Neurodiversity Edge offers a practical roadmap to building an organizational culture fundamentally aligned with authentic neuroinclusion rooted in a clear and compelling case that cognitive diversity—and lateral nonlinear traits—will become an unambiguous source of competitive edge as organizations navigate the coming age of technological transformation ahead.

This book will earn its place on the bookshelves of executives, organizational leaders, board directors, human resource professionals, recruiters, managers, educators, allies, and anyone with an interest in better understanding neurodiversity, authentic neuroinclusion, the human mind, and the role neuroinclusion stands to play in the age of artificial intelligence.
