Eight sensible people are about to solve a problem. Click a chair, or a name below, to swap one of them for someone who sees it differently, and watch what the room produces.
This browser can’t draw the 3D room.
Use the names below to swap people. The meeting still happens.
A room of people who agree produces one answer, confidently, eight times. A room of people who don’t produces an argument, and somewhere in the argument is the thing nobody could have found alone.
None of the eight sensible answers above is stupid. Every one of them has been said in a real board meeting by a capable person, and that is exactly the problem — a homogeneous team doesn’t just get worse answers, it gets confident ones. Creativity needs diverse soil: of thought, experience, background, neurotype, trade and temperament. The awkward colleague, the person who answers the phones, the customer who is mildly annoyed with you: they are not a nice-to-have at the table. They are where the answer was.
Make room at the table. Then build more tables.
