What DS does is accept that by taking a representative cross section (a diagonal slice through the organisation), you will pick-up a number of people within any given role, and that these people will represent the skills, knowledge and attitudes of a number of their peers.
To be effective the DS requires input from managers/line managers to ensure the analysis group really does represent a valid cross section of their team/part of the organisation.

Slice, OK. What's "diagonal" about it?
Or is it just a phrase that someone has heard (it does have a meaning: to slice or scan across 2 dimensions, gaining something from each) and thought would make their simple concept sound more cool?
