Power of Social Influence

Is this how we consume social media information? Or can we overcome our nature?

… Solomon Asch conducted an experiment. He brought ...groups ...into a classroom and showed them two flashcards at a time. Image. He then asked the people to tell him, one at a time and out loud, which line on the second card was the same length as the line on the first card.

… not a terribly challenging task. … subjects sailed through ... without any difficulty.

In the actual experiment... only one of the people in the room was ... a subject. The others were working for Asch and, per his instructions, ... they all began to give the same wrong answer... consequences for the lone authentic subject were striking. On average, the subjects' error rate rose from under 1 percent when acting independently to almost 37 percent when influenced by the group.

None of us like to think that we are unduly influenced by peer pressure, and all of us want to believe that we call things as we see them, regardless of what those around us say.
..it is disturbing to imagine that we so readily forsake the evidence of our own senses just to go along with a group...A more disturbing possibility ... do we do this unconsciously. (Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz).

Budgeting is a corporate game people play. It consists of politics, negotiation, and top-down opinion. The budget becomes what a CEO wants.

Budgeting is not about sales, costs, and profits. These are outcomes, lag measures.

Budgeting is about lead measures – inputs – allocation of capital to strategic projects that will drive performance.

CEOs must own budgeting.

They must articulate their understanding of what drives sales, costs, and profits. For Example: Read the full article here - http://bit.ly/2SnwWFj
