How To Avoid Groupthink When Creating Strategy Together
Show Notes

These days, a lot of the work inside and outside organisations is done in groups. Like task forces, Scrum Teams, management teams or your local church committee. Despite the benefits of working in groups, there are also several risks. Groupthink is a social bias that is clear example of this.

In this episode we explore what it is, what causes it and how to prevent it. Especially when it comes to developing strategy, we feel that Liberating Structure - and Strategy Knotworking in particular - can be a great help.

We're eager to hear your take after listening to the episode. How have you dealt with Groupthink? Let us know!
