Decision-making is tough, and it grows in complexity when there are groups involved. Yet, most of us live and work in teams, virtually or in offices without walls, in teams formed to solve problems and to make good decisions. However, groups can be prone to bad behaviors. Groupthink is one, when culture and structure emphasize rigid boundaries to thought and behavior.
An isolated group can define the internal and external world from its own viewpoint, and almost as a survival strategy, it can shut out external opinion and block ideas that are potentially threatening to their views. No doubt groupthink has shown up from time to time in your professional world.
Today’s world speaks of “the fray.” Collaboration and solutions can be difficult. It seems everyone has gone to war, for one point of view or another! Whatever language you use to describe the polarization we experience online, at work or in communities, the 2018 Strategic Summit is designed to enable you not just to live and work above the fray, but to thrive in the face of turbulence.
Staying above the fray doesn’t imply doing nothing. Doing things today involves positive action and words, clarity of purpose, creating solutions, rising above situations and seeing them from a higher perspective. These are the digital trends and strategies with the most potential to change the game. These are strategies we will share at the 2018 Strategic Summit!
Often, it’s the idea that no one else quite sees, that the group does not yet understand well enough to advocate, or ideas with the most potential to change the game. These are the digital trends and strategies we’re after at the Strategic Summit.
We identify speakers and panelists for this Summit who see the world differently, and develop strategies it in a totally different manner. Or they pick an idea that was not advocated by a group or selected by a client, and develop and launch it, and succeed.
Don’t let worries about groupthink at big conferences dissuade you from engaging your peers in collaborative innovation. Live and work above the fray! Attend the 2018 Strategic Summit and learn strategies for overcoming obstacles and implementing ideas to help you grow professionally.
