Neuro-Inspired: 12 Steps to a Future-Proof Workplace Culture

In this episode of Culture by Neurodesign, Dr Lisa Colledge explores how cognitive diversity fuels organizational innovation and resilience.

Drawing on new scientific research, Lisa illustrates how traits commonly associated with ADHD—although often misunderstood—can be powerful assets in fast-paced, ever-changing environments.

Learn why a mix of cognitive styles within your team is essential, and how investing in building strong connections between people with different styles enhances creativity, adaptability, and long-term success.

Dr Lisa Colledge continues her focus on innovation by exploring the cognitive strengths associated with dyslexia.

Drawing on research by Helen Taylor and Martin David Vestergaard to reframe dyslexic skills as team strengths rather than challenges, Lisa highlights how dyslexic traits—such as strong holistic perception, and a rich memory for the context of experiences—equip teams to thrive in rapidly changing environments.

She also discusses how evolutionary pressures shaped these traits to benefit humanity and how teams and organizations can emulate this to build resilient, adaptive teams.
