In previous episode of this post we were left discussing the relationship between social networks and creativity. As I told you with my colleague Gino Cattani New York University have tested these ideas in the context of Hollywood cinema (for a detailed discussion here the scientific article). In summary, after more than three years of data collection, we analyzed the structure of collaborations with about 30 thousand professionals from Hollywood (including directors, actors, editors, writers, producers, cinematographers, set designers and composers), between 1992 and involved 2004 in the implementation of 2300 film.
order to objectify the creative performance of each individual We then took into account a wide range of prestigious prizes awarded annually by the American film (like the Oscar, Golden Globe, the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards, New York Film Critics, etc. ..). We then compared the resulting indicator with the network of partnerships developed by each artist during his career. In doing so we discovered a very interesting trend. The most creative individuals do not operate in the edges of this network, but are not even central. Typically, however, to intermediate positions between the periphery and the center of the social system that matches the creative success. What does this result? That has practical implications for those deals, for example, innovation management or management of creativity? If you are curious let me refer you to the podcast of this interview , I recently released a national broadcaster discussing broad spectrum of creativity and collaboration. The file is a little heavy but the sound quality is OK. Enjoy!
