The Antidote to Groupthink.
Conformity drives groupthink. People silence themselves for fear of irritating others, or of weakening the group with their dissent, be it a business workshop or a consumer focus group.
But dissent is the only way to protect us from herd behavior and not to become slaves to other people’s creative ideologies, wild theories and zombie ideas.
With HeatLab© we know how to manage dissent and channel the discussion, so opposing arguments are reconciled into a strong product mix or a solid business narrative.
Five reasons a good argument beats a quiet room.
Studies the brand agenda from a number of viewpoints
Limits conformity and groupthink
Generates new ideas through debate
Discovers the true emotion behind actions
Creates a safe space for the 'silent' members of the group
