Social Physics: Post #7--Teams

The New Science of Teams: Pentland’s research revealed that by monitoring the sociometric interactions of people (not including recording conversations),
he could determine a formula for predicting highly successful and creative people and teams based on tracking face-to-face engagement and exploration. High performing groups 1) produced a large number of ideas; 2) had dense interactions (overlapping, brief discussion contributions and encouraging comments); 3) produced a diversity of ideas.
