The most important thing about Silent Co-creation is that it doesn’t require extra time besides the meetings we already hold. It is relevant to everyone.

Background
After years of research, Bastian Overgaard has developed the Silent Performance-approach to help leaders facilitate dynamic high performance-meetings.
By following simple and effective silent principles leaders can create surprisingly effective meetings with:
- optimal communication and knowledge sharing
- higher mental focus
- faster decisions
- balance between introverted and extroverted talents
- shorter meetings and happier employees
Bastian Overgaard has put silence on the agenda in a number of C25 companies, public organizations, boards and municipalities.
Silent Performance is not focusing on meditation, but is using silence as a strategic meeting and leadership tool. This is an art as silence can become awkward if not communicated, facilitated and implemented properly.
As a pioneer, Bastian Overgaard presents the potential of silence in a way that makes sense to both executives and employees. This gives and common frame of reference, with the result that meetings can be shortened by up to 50 percent.
