Let us Tick in Synchrony !

• I am attaching a video  

Following is the explanation by the author of the video :
" In the video , there are pendulums oscillating out of phase with each other . These pendulums are "uncoupled" meaning there is no energy or information transfer between the pendulums. So these pendulums do not know each other.
How ever later when the pendulums are placed over two cans on a common board , notice that the cans themselves oscillate a little. The cans provide coupling. They transfer information between the pendulums. This forces synchronisation between the pendulums and all the pendulums now oscillate in unision. "

• This encourages me to draw and analogy between above experiment and the BNI Chapter, of which I was a member till recently. 

We were a chapter of about 45 business owners . Each one of us representing separate  businesses . Prior to BNI membership , we were all unknown to each other.
There energy in the group was contagious. So if one member was down psychologically the group acted as a moral booster. There were socials. BNI advocates fun in the fundamentals.
The group facilitated and promoted transfer of information . The members of the group had to follow a strict protocol during "One to One" meetings amongst each other. What needed to be discussed and exchanged was clearly defined and adhered to .
Like the cans in the experiment the chapter was firmly anchored on the shoulders of the Leadership Team . The team ensured the transfer of information between the individual members ( pendulums ) . BNI provided coupling between members. BNI Chapter provided a platform to tick in Synchrony!

• Result: Not only Synchronisation of performance , but spiraling of business volume for each member in the group.  
• Effective Communication is the Key to Success !
