The Programme for the Practice of Diversity Management is a collaborative arrangement between the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA) and the Australian Centre for International Business (ACIB) funded through DIMIA's Productive Diversity Partnership Programme. It aims to meet the practical needs of business by developing a business case for productive diversity, providing business models for diversity management, and creating toolkits and checklists for assessing diversity. This business model addresses the role of diversity capabilities in enabling effective teamwork. The model argues that diverse work teams managed well outperform homogenous work teams and un-managed diverse work teams. A complementary toolkit addresses strategies for more effectively managing teams.
