sweet
spot
Groups often fail to
outperform individuals
because they prematurely
move to consensus, with
dissenting opinions being
suppressed or dismissed.
-Hackman, Morris (1975) Advances in Experimental
Social Psychology
Minority dissent, even dissent
that is wrong, stimulates
divergent thought. Issues
and problems are considered
from more perspectives and
group members find more
correct answers.
-Nemeth, Staw (1989) Advances in Experimental
Social Psychology
Where do good ideas come
from? That is simple…from
differences. Creativity comes
from unlikely juxtapositions.
The best way to maximize
differences is to mix ages,
cultures and disciplines.
-Nicolas Negroponte, founder MIT Media Lab

who
social network analysis
From time to time people discuss
important matters with other
people. Looking back over the
past six months, who are the
people with whom you discussed
matters important to you?
social network analysis
Consider the people you
communicate with in order to get
your work done. Of all the
people you have communicated
with during the last six months,
who has been the most important
for getting your work done?
social network analysis
Consider an important project or
initiative that you are involved in.
Consider the people who would be
influential for getting it approved
or obtaining the resources you
need. Who would you talk to, to
get the support you need?
social network analysis
Who do you socialize with?
(spending time with people after
work hours, visiting one another at
home, going to social events, out
for meals and so on) Over the last
6 months, who are the main people
with whom you have socialized
informally?
