The Collective Spark Book Launch with Martin Ringer

Putting together a collection of clever people does not guarantee the creation of a clever team, group or committee.

That’s because there are many layers to thinking-together that are in addition to the processes involved in thinking as individuals. On the other hand, humanity has achieved amazing advances in medicine, literature, the arts and many other fields through collaboration. That is through thinking together. How then can we understand this apparent contradiction?

Join lead editor and contributing author Martin Ringer as he discusses his book, The Collective Spark which explores the fascinating and sometimes complex dynamics that underpin the capacity of groups of people to think together and identifies some practical principles that can be used to help guide and increase group liveliness, productivity, effectiveness and of course, maybe help find that ever elusive ‘collective spark’.

Doors: 5.30pm. Talk: From 6pm followed by books sales and signings.

Ticket price: $10 pp, includes a glass of wine (red/white) or soft drink. Margaret River Book Shop will kindly donate $5 from every book sold to Mindful Margaret River.

This is a fundraiser event for Mindful Margaret River hosted by Rosi-Moore-Fiander, proudly presented by Arts Margaret River and Margaret River Book Shop.
