TOM WUJEC: Kindergarteners Outperforming MBAs - Explaining the Famous Marshmallow Challenge

Tom Wujec's Bio and Speech Topics: http://www.thelavinagency.com/speaker-tom-wujec.html

Tom Wujec's "Marshmallow Challenge" is a design experiment that reveals deep lessons about teamwork, collaboration and project management. It sounds simple - teams try to build the tallest freestanding structure they can out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, 1 yard of tape, 1 yard of string and a marshmallow. What makes it difficult is the need for teams to organize, prototype and build the structure in the short time frame. The results are astounding - children tend to outperform MBA students, due to their ability to redesign on the fly rather than plan a rigid structure and execute, even if the structure is doomed for failure.
