The Desert Survival Challenge was a path breaking simulation run by the US Airforce during World War II. It is now a case study in many top business schools. The challenge involved groups of 20 cadets – theoretically victims of a plane-crash – being tasked to find their way to the nearest habitation some 70 miles away. More than 2000 real life simulations showed that groups where decision making was broad based, iterate the best survival strategies. Groups where only a handful of views dominated, usually made the worst decisions, often lost morale and were unable to reach their destination.
