14 April 2010 : Mark Schar : "Quals Presentation: Pivot Thinking"

Functionally diverse team members bring a unique set of cognitive skills to team interaction; it is less clear how these differences affect the exchange of critical mutually-required team information. This cognitive diversity in new product design (NPD) teams increases the likelihood that individual team members will perceive the team’s task differently, leading to “cognitive representational gaps” between teammates’ interpretations of both the task and potential solution. This research will test the hypothesis that cognitively diverse NPD teams develop representational gaps based on individual cognitive preferences between convergent and divergent information types and these cognitive preferences influence both task definition and solution. It will also test the hypothesis that this limiting behavior can be overcome by team leadership that bridges cognitive preferences, with a technique “pivot thinking.” Understanding how these general mechanisms work should deepen our understanding of information processing and conflict in diverse NPD teams.
