Free will and the case for cognitive diversity
Whether we have free will is a contentious subject in philosophy and neuroscience, but there is good evidence to suggest that many of the decisions we make are automatic and not conscious. In fact, most decisions end up in our consciousness, rather than originate there.
What does this mean for us? There are implications for research and how we make the product/ service decisions we do, but bigger implications for cognitive diversity and collaboration.
People can’t help how they think, but it’s very well documented that different perspectives have a huge effect on creativity and problem solving – and ultimately the success of our teams.
