Animal behaviors such as Swarming, Flocking & Shoaling provide intriguing insights into how groups spontaneously form and interact. The natural world is full of rules, both simple and complex that enable groups of animals to function extremely efficiently. Looking at these examples, we can draw interesting parallels with the behavior of groups of people - and we can learn interesting things about the rules that we use when we work in teams. This presentation draws on extensive research on groups, both human and animal, and provides useful insights into how we can best organize ourselves.
