Natures teams are exceptionally good at taking action, co-operating and learning

In this article I will introduce a third overarching principle of Bioteams: Bioteams are exceptionally good at taking action, co-operating and learning. I will then introduce the third triad of supporting action rules (rules 7, 8 and 9).

Its now six months since Robin Good and I published our first bioteams manifesto.A lot has happened since then and we feel it may now be a good time to publish a new version of the manifesto and to circulate the bioteaming ideas to a wider audience using changethis as a medium. If you agree then we would appreciate it if you would let us know by visiting the bioteaming manifesto feedback page on changethis and registering your vote by clicking 'yes write this manifesto'. We would also value any other comments you might have on bioteaming.

Many Thanks
Ken Thompson
