Laban’s Inspiration, Lamb’s Perspiration

Warren Lamb made two ground-breaking discoveries.  First, he found that every individual has a movement pattern as unique as a fingerprint.  Secondly, he confirmed that these patterns are related to cognitive processes used in decision making.  This led to his creation: Movement Pattern Analysis (MPA).

The basis of MPA can be attributed to Laban’s insights, who seemed to have a knack for giving useful advice to workers and managers.  Lamb had to provide more detailed explanations, leading him to admit that what Laban seemed to do through inspiration, he had to do through perspiration.

Lamb’s independent testing of Laban’s insights allowed him to expand and also empirically confirm the links between movement and making decisions.  Find out more in the next blogs.
