Daniel Susser (Intelligent Teams)

This week, Daniel Susser talk about intelligent teams. He tells us:

  • How he hopes to bring cognitive science to the team level
  • Why our body is a group of "agents" vying for control
  • Whether teams are just evolved Paramecium
  • Why Plato could have written inside out
  • About his brand new idea
  • Why the Goldilocks scales will help get to the root of problems
  • Why he'd take an annoying person with him
  • ... and much more (including when David proved he wasn't as stupid as he thought!)
