Mindfulness Can Help Unlock Your Company’s Collective Intelligence

In their featured article for Knowledge@Wharton , BCG’s Christian Greiser and Jan-Philipp Martini explain how individual employees can practice mindfulness to grow collective intelligence. They discuss a BCG and Awaris study that found 31 teams that participated in a 10-week mindfulness program displayed an average increase of 13% in collective intelligence. The findings of the study are further highlighted in a separate article authored by Greiser for Gulf News . Both articles provide three steps companies can take to foster collective intelligence : provide mindfulness training, anchor mindfulness in teams, and establish metrics and track behavior changes.
