Global organizations including the European Commission, SAP, Hilti and Google are increasingly investing in agile, cross-functional teams to boost innovation and solve complex problems. Can mindfulness at the individual level foster an organization’s collective intelligence? A recent study by BCG and Awaris sought to find out: they monitored 31 teams (totaling 196 people) enrolled in a 10-week mindfulness program and measured them on four axes. Their findings: teams increased their collective intelligence by an average of 13%.
