McKinsey & Company suggests that a way to address lacklustre performance in collaborative work is by clarifying roles related to decision making. Decision-making, although a highly collaborative process, suffers when too many people are “deciders”. Although everyone’s voices will be heard, not all of them should be able to have a final say or have veto power when it comes to the final decisions. A renewable energy company implemented this method to a great success; they sped up their decision-making process and made better customer-focused decisions. Read full article here

‘Ghostly’ neutrinos provide new path to study protons
In groundbreaking research, an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Rochester have used a beam of neutrinos to measure the size and shape of the protons that make up the nuclei of atoms. This feat, once thought impossible, provides scientists with a new way of looking at the small components of an atom’s nucleus and opens up a wealth of new information about the structure of an atom’s nucleus and the dynamics of the forces that affect neutrino interactions. The researchers solved the challenge of harnessing neutrinos in large numbers by using a neutrino detector containing a target of both hydrogen and carbon atoms, and over nine years of data collection at Fermilab’s accelerator.
