00:00:08
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.
00:00:23
1 + 1 does not equal 2,
00:00:28
Numerous studies have proven it.
00:00:30
Take the Lost on the moon study,
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.
00:00:58
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
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.
00:01:53
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
00:02:26
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,
00:02:47
well conducted with simulation and nonjudgment,
00:02:51
brainstorming can trigger change and allow you to innovate at high speed.
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.
00:04:03
only 8% find a solution.
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.
00:04:20
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.
00:04:36
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.
