Abilene Paradox

 

Abilene Paradox 2nd Edition.

A group of adults is playing dominoes on the porch. Jerry Harvey appears and comments that the dynamics of groups in organizations closely resemble those of groups at home. An idea is floated across the domino table, receives lukewarm support, and is ultimately accepted. The group is off to dinner in Abilene, Texas, a 53-mile drive in 104-degree heat in a car without air conditioning. Upon their return from Abilene, the recriminations begin. It seems that no one really wanted to go, but each thought the other did.

Some years later, as a professor of Management Science, Jerry wrote an insightful, common sense article, called The Abilene Paradox, embroidering this experience into what became for him an intensely personal reassessment of the very foundation of group decision making.

Among the many things to be learned from Dr. Jerry Harvey is that much is gained by observing our own seemingly mundane personal experiences. In this way, he suggests we begin to mold organizations that more properly reflect our most deeply held logical and personal values.

This film will help you and your organization approaches this worthwhile goal in a way that is both engaging and entertaining.

On this trip down memory lane, Dr. Jerry Harvey examines group decision-making and the dynamics that led his family to make a poor decision one day, many years ago.
