Dialogue experiment

With my friends Mark Hodge and Alok Singh I helped to host an experimental dialogue on Monday at The Hub. This continues my interest in ways for groups to create a deeper sense of connection.

I’m feeling a bit blogged out at the moment, so I’m glad that Julian Elve has done a post that gives a great personal account of what happened.

I really enjoyed the experience, which confirmed my feeling that people are closer to the possibility of deep connection than might sometimes appear to be the case. And hungrier for it than might be thought.

Dept of no shit, Sherlock

It’s mean to quote McKinsey in this sort of out-of-context way, but I can’t resist. Apparently (registration required) there is a business case against tolerating nasty and demeaning people Thanks

Organisational culture and its pitfalls

Keith Sawyer says you should avoid recruiting people who “fit your culture” if you want to support innovation. We know from creativity research that the most innovative teams have cognitive diversity.
