On May 24th, 2018, the First External Faculty Meeting of the Hub started with a public conference.

 

In short talks complexity scientists from all around globe shared their visions on the question “Complexity: Where do we go from here?”

 

What are the open, the most pressing, the most promising questions to an understanding of complexity and Big Data?

“How can we measure productivity in teams?”

 

The fourth talk was given by Frank Schweitzer from ETH Zurich.

 

Large teams don’t have necessarily a larger output or are more successful, he says. It would maybe be time for more appropriate productivity measures. On top of that, leadership should be explored more deeply as a way to rise productivity.
