Team building in Pergola15

What is the magic recipe for putting together a dream team, for a group of people to bring out the best in themselves and others? Over time, sports coaches, teachers, corporate group leaders, chefs and anyone who works and creates where different skills need to be artfully orchestrated must have wondered about this. After studying historical data concerning artistic and scientific activities, several scholars have found a formula that has had so much feedback that it has acquired scientific value; the best results, the most innovative findings, the greatest successes arise from skilful hybridisation. In essence, it seems that the magic recipe for a winning combination is the right balance of diversity.

The magic comes from mixing, for example, the experience of old foxes and the enthusiasm of newbies. And it is important that, in the mixture, the proportions are respected: too much of each group and the enchantment no longer works. Sometimes, not always, the understanding and experience of the experts lead to a repetition of complacent automatisms that tend towards a sterile technical perfection, from which it is difficult to free oneself. Instead, the disjointed and unconscious or non-propositional exchange of newcomers can lead to ‘nothing happening’. The well-orchestrated combination of the two tendencies makes for a happy spell.

The Pergola15 event location often hosts team-building meetings and manages to offer the optimal context for a team to become a dream team.
