SchellingPoint

A SchellingPoint research insight - explaining the scale of difference in thinking between those sponsoring a group decision and those who expect to implement it - appears in this business.com article: https://lnkd.in/g-bRZT2

Groups intending to use their opinions to set goals and actions should no longer use conventional stakeholder interviews and analysis. #leadershipdecisionmaking #groupdecisionmaking #strategiccollaboration

The previous post in this series explained that conventional stakeholder interview analysis has led decision-making groups in the wrong direction. This follow-up provides a video illustrating how that occurs in practice. If you conduct stakeholder interviews to help groups advance shared subjects, you should find it valuable. #groupdecisionmaking #strategiccollaboration https://lnkd.in/eRqQrsV6

Groups and teams make most of their strategic decisions using structured approaches. This research explains a previously unseen flaw in a decades-old best practice. One implicit assumption has been sending internal and external consultants, facilitators, and their clients unknowingly down the wrong path. #strategiccollaboration #decisionmaking #leadershipdecisionmaking https://lnkd.in/e6EYrKVN

Two 'Best Collaboration' Award Winners! At the House of Lords in London on Wednesday night, the Institute for Collaborative Working (ICW) held its Annual Awards Reception. Congratulations to all award winners! We want to acknowledge two, in particular. Sarah MacGregor and the Forests With Impact team and Odilon Serrano, BS MechE, MBA(hons), MICW and the Metis team. Their successes are at two ends of the spectrum: Sarah's collaboration started with a search to provide people convicted of crimes with more pathways into the workforce after prison. It brought together over 100 people from 50+ organizations whose dialogues led to the Forests With Impact initiative. Sarah and her co-leaders are an inspiration in what they achieved, for which they received the Social Impact Award. In another example of collaborative leadership, the #MottMcDonald / #AtkinsRealis team was dealing with a significant military program in an accelerated timeframe. The ICW acknowledged their result with the Alliance/Enterprise/Ecosystems Award. The connection? Both used SchellingPoint's Strategic Collaboration Technology software platform and group decision-making process. Well done to all involved, including Collaboration Architect @Atul Madahar of #AppliedConsensus. https://lnkd.in/emktF_EM #ICWAwards2024 #Strategiccollaboration

All collaboration principles, processes, skills, methods, tools, and technologies enable one or more of the three types of collaboration. https://lnkd.in/eeKzDSzc #collaboration

The first person to help a group find their Schelling point was possibly a Homo habilis - one with a particularly optimistic view on life. Picture him, leading the discussion on how they would bring down that mammoth stomping through the valley below. Hoping that as they each crept silently through the bush to surround it, they truly were in synch. Because they all knew there would be no time for course corrections, rework, arguing, RAID lists, or leadership changes once it heard the first twig snap.    Every executive, leader, and manager since has been trying to help their group find their Schelling point. Oh, and that's also how life insurance was invented. By the entrepreneurial cavewoman looking down at the debacle unfolding below. #schellingpoint #likemindedness #collaboration

Our CEO was recently featured in an insightful article looking at the future role of AI in corporate negotiations and stakeholder disputes. To help teams bridge ideological divides and reach consensus faster. Something we support: enabling groups to find their Schelling point is our mission. And SchellingPoint is for AI - being involved in the development of patented AI since 1991. A suggested group statement is sometimes necessary, but should not be the first option. SchellingPoint's applied research has shown that groups can naturally reconcile most of their divergence from the answers to one question. Which is good - successful decisions need more 'Yes, I agree with that statement' than 'Yes, I can go with that.' More commitment than compliance.

Collaboration is two or more people working together to produce something. The three types of organizational collaboration are: Strategic Collaboration – making decisions, setting goals Operational Collaboration – planning the tasks, managing execution Tactical Collaboration – performing the tasks to realize the goals
