About Positive Diversity, LLC

Scott Boone founded Positive Diversity in early 2008 after a 20 year career with three Fortune 500 companies. His experience with a highly unique program - Masters of Diversity Awareness - kindled his desire to reach and benefit a wide group of young adults. Positive Diversity was thus conceived.

As an organizational development professional, he created programs and practices that improved retention, operational performance, team performance, and job satisfaction. Most notably his programs were credited with strongly influencing a 40% reduction of the voluntary turnover rate for a 2,600 person division.

From 1999-2008 Scott played a key role in setting direction and strategy for improving workplace inclusion and managing an increasingly diverse workforce. In this role, he led or participated in teams to create an enterprise-wide diversity scorecard, the Masters in Diversity Awareness Program, the Diversity Challenge Program, and strategy execution for the Asian-Indian market segment team.

A believer in improving systems holistically, he collected multiple first-hand data in pursuit of performance improvement. His highly successful early work (Walk-A-Mile, Transformation Recognition, Making it Work, and Welcome!) integrated core values of collaboration, empowerment, big picture understanding, teamwork, communication, and positive reinforcement.

Formal education includes an MBA in Organizational Change and Development from Syracuse University and a BBA, with majors in Organizational Administration and Marketing, from Miami University (Oxford).

Scott received Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute in 2002. He is both trained and experienced in process improvement methodologies, group facilitation, and strategic meeting design.

Scott has enjoyed serving as mentor, fundraiser, and community association board president. He currently volunteers for Bridgepointe, a non-profit that joins together students from urban Detroit and suburban schools for a day of sharing, caring, and teamwork as they learn about world hunger and then pack over 15,000 meals to be shipped to both local food banks and food-starved villages across the globe.
