On Oct. 27, 2022 – Foresight attended the PDMA webinar ‘Scatterbrains: Teams find innovation by thinking differently’ by Richard Perez. The webinar consisted of examples and graphs of the make-up of teams at fortune 100 companies and how well they work together. Mr. Perez unpacked and analyzed each member of these teams and categorized them based on defined characteristics and then went on to explain how these categories interact. This information shed some light on individual traits that we don’t always think of when working in team settings. The presentation went on about how to work with members from these categories in order to create synergy and maintain a thriving team model. Overall the webinar was enlightening and interactive as it allowed for members of the webinar to participate in polls and understand where we land within certain team models.
