    {
      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Garold Stasser and William Titus (1985, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) studied group decisions in which participants held a mixture of shared and unique information."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Why shared information takes centre stage",
      "point": "Garold Stasser and William Titus (1987, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) examined how information load and the proportion of shared information affected the dissemination of unique information during discussion."

    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might conclude that new information should always take precedence, or that each specialist should be asked to defend a preferred option."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot promise",
      "point": "These experiments involve controlled tasks, a structured distribution of information and an option identifiable as the best on the evidence provided."

    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Bâle",
      "point": "Within SHR’s “[Project Management](/formation/gestion-de-projet/bale)” programme, an exercise applicable in Basel would be to prepare the selection of a provider for a project connecting pharma, life sciences, Rhine logistics and international R&D."
