January 28, 2012Why The New Yorker's Claim That Brainstorming "Doesn't Work" Is An Overstatement And Possibly WrongThe current version of The New Yorker has a wonderful article by Jonah Lehrer called "Groupthink" (you can see the abstract here). It does a great job of showing how creativity is a social process, cites wonderful research by Brian Uzzi showing that when people have experience working together in the past they produce more successful Broadway musicals (up to a point, too many old friends is as bad as too few), and offers research showing that groups where members engage in constructive conflict are more creative -- all themes I have talked about at various times on this blog.Posted by Jim Zellmer at January 28, 2012 7:33 PM Subscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: Newsletter signup | Send us your ideas Comments
