As an interpreter, I’ve worked on top management consulting assignments. On many occasions could witness the power of joint thinking allowing, too, for inspiration from “outside the envelope”. One of the nicest cases was, when after a long debate the English speaking consultant-moderator suggested to invite one of the production floor employees into the management think tank. To contribute with ideas regarding the restructuring of the rather big firm. It was unorthodox, but the managers got curious and agreed. And thanks to the extra dimension the employee provided, it was easy to get accepted and implement the resulting restructuring plan, which proved to be profitable, too.
Hi Friends
In my work environment we did something similar, me and a group of my peers were given the chance to propose ways of making better our department so we had a weekend to individually think about it and individually we were interviewed and after non of us proposed something substantially important. Right after the individual meeting we were all put in a room with some refreshments to discuss in group all the ideas but something amazing happened, in just 3 hours we came up as a group with ideas that were in effect and still are up to this date. Amaizing !
I really enjoyed this class, because it shows me that socializing is not an outgrowth of work and can often be the solution to the problem.
I want to continue the course to learn how to socialize in the right way and to find out who are the right people for this, in order to evolve in my ventures, in general.
