Aligning Smart People Who Don't Think Alike
Our systems produce smart individuals.
The paradox of smart individuals is that they are often challenged to be a smart group. We then have organizations, institutions, governments that are filled with people who have high levels of personal performance. At the same time the world has massively reorganized itself and new performance outcomes are required to be effective; performance outcomes that demand individuals come together to produce ideas and innovations that no one of them can generate alone – much less implement alone.
In the absence of being able to unlearn the “me or you” mindset, we then look to motivational gimmicks, personality tools, team formulas about storming and norming, and other compensations for our lack of ability to be with different people with different views. All of these tools and models take effort to understand and master and produce incremental gains at best – if you can remember them.

What if you could just remove what was in the way versus working around it?
What if it were possible to dissolve the artificial barriers to collective action and rapidly rehabilitate people’s natural drive to accomplish together? Teams of animal certainly don’t need to know each other’s personality, profile, or “score” – why would we? When’s the last time you saw a team of ants exchanging their “colours” or a goose gripe about leading?
