in 4 ways which I will demonstrate.

00:00:11

Together we are more intelligent,

00:00:13

we're more creative,

00:00:14

we solve problems better,

00:00:16

and we feel more mobilized to take action.

00:00:19

Let's start with together we are more intelligent.

00:00:22

Yes,

00:00:23

1 + 1 does not equal 2,

00:00:26

but rather 345.

00:00:28

Numerous studies have proven it.

00:00:30

Take the Lost on the moon study,

00:00:33

for example,

00:00:34

which is often included in meeting facilitation trainings.

00:00:38

It's a game inspired by NASA.

00:00:40

Participants are asked to classify by order of

00:00:43

importance 15 articles out of the 30 available

00:00:48

that they will take with them

00:00:49

while their spaceship is stranded on the moon.

00:00:53

Oxygen tanks,

00:00:54

compass,

00:00:55

star chart,

00:00:56

water reserve,

00:00:57

rope.

00:00:58

Individuals are asked to submit their own rankings and then

00:01:02

come together as a group to define a new ranking.

00:01:07

A team that works well together achieves significantly better results,

00:01:12

results that are closer to those of NASA

00:01:14

experts than the results of separate individuals.

00:01:18

Together they make the best choices to survive on the moon,

00:01:22

even if none of them is an expert in astronomy.

00:01:25

Another study involved asking people during an agricultural

00:01:29

fair to estimate the weight of an ox.

00:01:32

Each participant wrote down the weight on a piece of paper.

00:01:36

They were all much less skilled than the expert

00:01:39

butcher at estimating the weight of the animal.

00:01:43

However,

00:01:43

at the end of the day,

00:01:45

the average weight calculated from all the participants'

00:01:48

coupons was the exact weight of the beef.

00:01:52

Together,

00:01:53

the contestants ended up being even better than the expert butcher.

00:01:57

The group is smarter than the individual.

00:02:00

It may even be smarter than the expert.

00:02:03

But you still have to know how to make the most of it.

00:02:07

Together we are more creative.

00:02:09

The concept of brainstorming stems from this very idea.

00:02:14

It is said that the brain can decode an average of 800 words per minute,

00:02:20

while the rate of speech is around 120 to 160 words

00:02:24

per minute.

00:02:26

We have an extraordinary ability

00:02:27

to make connections in our brain to imagine.

00:02:31

We can elaborate a single concept in a 100 different ways

00:02:36

with 10 people having 2 ideas per minute each,

00:02:40

that's 20 ideas per minute

00:02:42

that can be expressed,

00:02:44

debated,

00:02:44

gauged,

00:02:45

enriched,

00:02:47

well conducted with simulation and nonjudgment,

00:02:51

brainstorming can trigger change and allow you to innovate at high speed.

00:02:56

Einstein said

00:02:57

creativity is intelligence having fun.

00:03:01

To allow a group to be creative,

00:03:03

you should encourage play and fun.

00:03:06

If you want to stimulate the creativity of

00:03:08

your teams and broaden the scope of possibilities,

00:03:12

take them out of the limits of their linear and rational minds

00:03:16

through fun and entertainment.

00:03:18

You'll have a flurry of ideas.

00:03:21

Together we solve problems better.

00:03:24

Do you have a problem to solve?

00:03:27

Is it best to isolate yourself,

00:03:29

to call on your most expert employee,

00:03:32

hire a consultant,

00:03:33

or to bring it up in a meeting?

00:03:35

Martin Shaw demonstrated that a group is more

00:03:38

competent in problem solving than isolated individuals.

00:03:43

Individuals had to solve similar problems such as

00:03:47

how to make 6 people cross the river,

00:03:49

3 husbands and their 3 wives,

00:03:51

on a boat that can only carry 3 people,

00:03:54

knowing that only a man can row

00:03:57

and that no woman can stay alone with another man

00:04:00

without her husband's presence.

00:04:02

Individually,

00:04:03

only 8% find a solution.

00:04:06

Collectively,

00:04:07

53% of them solve the problem.

00:04:10

Together we feel more engaged

00:04:13

with a good leader.

00:04:14

A group fosters the synergy of all the talents towards a common goal.

00:04:19

Indeed,

00:04:20

10 people looking in the same direction

00:04:23

towards the same goal during a meeting has a multiplied ripple effect.

00:04:28

Over the time of the meeting,

00:04:29

the group will benefit from the engagement

00:04:32

inspired by the most dynamic participants.

00:04:35

However,

00:04:36

a team can also stray towards disengagement if

00:04:40

the group choose to follow opponents and counterleaders.

00:04:44

It's the group effect for better or worse.

00:04:48

If you have a clear,

00:04:49

shared direction

00:04:51

and a few energetic allies,

00:04:53

the entire group will follow.

00:04:56

The group will feel concerned by the problems involved in

00:04:59

the decisions and satisfied with the responsibility they are given.

00:05:04

The individual committed in front of the group watching them

00:05:08

will make it their duty to fulfill their mission

00:05:11

so as not to disappoint and be rejected by the group.

00:05:15

Working in a collaborative mode therefore guarantees better intelligence,

00:05:20

greater creativity,

00:05:22

optimal problem solving,

00:05:23

and better engagement.
