Another lesson… from the Marshmallow Challenge
Here’s the blurb –>
Team and talents to solve the Marshmallow problem - Tom Wujec
Surprisingly revelations from the “marshmallow problem” involves dry spaghetti, one yard/metre of tape and a marshmallow. Why does a surprising group always beat the average?
Here’s the TED video –>
And the screen highlights show that Engineers and Architects have the best results~! *yay*~!
And that when teams of CEOs include an admin executive, their performance becomes a lot better~!!!
So.. SPECIALIZED skills + FACILITATION skills… are key to SUCCESS~!
And I would also like to think of it in a way that.. everybody has different functions.. akin to how the different limbs of a body cooperate…
Marshmallow Challenge Results
Specialized and Facilitation skills
So, may all come together and learn from the Marshmallow Problem… and apply what they learn, to solve the Sustainable Development problems.. because as Tom Wujec discovered.. nobody performed well when there are high stakes… (and the stakes are real high with Mother Earth…) so we do need to have a lot of practice with prototypes.. to ensure we do have the best solution to the challenge!
Cheers,
