Since his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Dr. Colin M. Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics. As Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London’s School of Management, Colin’s research has uncovered the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He has written about group dynamics for both popular science and management audiences, and his work has been profiled in prominent media outlets such as BBC, Forbes, NPR, and The Times. Originally from Redmond, Washington, he now lives in North London with his wife and two children.

Colin Fisher and 26 other people liked Mircea Petcu's review of Avantajul colectiv. Cum să deblochezi puterea secretă a grupurilor: "Geniul solitar este mai degrabă un mit decât o realitate. Grupurile sunt cele care pun lucrurile în mișcare. De exemplu, cine a inventat becul? Dacă spui Thomas Edison, greșești. Becurile incandescente au fost inventate înainte de nașterea lui Edison."

Colin Fisher liked Mona's review of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups: "Such a useful book that teaches you about a collective vision within a team or a group, how diversity helps us when we are determined to collaborate and It has great references, like "The fearless organization", written by Amy Edmonson."
