274 — Book club: Rebel Ideas
Episode description
To solve a complex problem, should we ask a single genius or tap into our networks? It's a question that's answered by Matthew Syed in his book Rebel Ideas: The power of diverse thinking.
In this episode, Nahdia, Owen, Ross G and Gemma gather to contemplate the book.
We discuss:
- what rebel ideas are
- diversity and its benefits (and what we lose when we don't have it)
- practical ways to harness collective intelligence.
