About this listen

From technology to business, two (or more) heads often prove to be better than one - but only if those heads are cognitively diverse. Diverse perspectives are a powerful tool for maximizing productivity and enhancing collective performance. Now, in The Hidden Factor: Why Thinking Differently Is Your Greatest Asset, you can learn the strategies that make you a more diverse thinker and position you to break down institutional silos and build robust, effective teams.

Delivered by Professor Scott E. Page of the University of Michigan - a pioneering researcher in his field - these 24 thought-provoking lectures are packed with case studies, cautionary tales, and formal mathematical methods that prove the case for cognitive difference.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Having loved the course on Complexity I dived in to this one with high expectations. It has a lot more maths, which is not a strong point for me, but was brilliant regardless. The lectures are crafted beautifully, material is well paced and the overall course flows really well. Scott Page is an excellent speaker. More please.

Another cracking course from Scott Page

While I enjoy these courses, this is my least favourite this far. Its still great, but it is heavy on the maths and as such doesn't listen as well as others.

As always however, there is much to learn from this course so in that sense it does not dissapoint.

Another Great Course!

The term rightly became a pejorative in recent times. Book goes some way to justify the formal use, using mathematics and statistics.

Really interesting presentation on the value of cognitive diversity. There is a lot of maths (not my strong point) and the presenter refers to visual aids on a number of occasions. Still, a fascinating presentation that will help people see the world more clearly and help make better decisions.

Fascinating and challenging

Really interesting topic with a lot of potential depth but if you’re over 15 you will soon tire of the lecturers high-school level delivery. “I had nine cows, not 10 hahah” wut. His accent when explaining algorithms is also too confusing - air=error=arrow hahaha bonk. Got 4 lectures in before it became too basic to listen to.
