Robin Good of MasterNewMedia.org has published a short video clip series where he interviews me (Ken Thompson) about the Bioteaming approach to virtual/mobile teams, networks and communities.


BIOTEAMS - THE VIDEO

Robin and I co-authored the original Bioteaming Manifesto which was published as a free 34-page download by ChangeThis and led to the development of the Bioteams book.

Dear Ken,

your stuff is truly made for this I-Age, best practice and lesson learned was yesterday, your suggestions are pure REAL risk management, exactly, what is very much needed for multinational business improvement, I can tell. All this human factor issues like cross functional team performance and high quality collaboration, complex problem solving and decision making are big hidden cost drivers and are hard to measure by most of the common earned value management systems within our business world (Anyway you can´t just cost cut your way to prosperity!). But meanwhile, thanks God, there are already also proven methods to measure the outcome of all this intangible values, like team performance effectivity, or workforce learning levels. You know, what gets measured, gets managed. An additional clear return on investment accountability assessment(ROI)- yes this is possible meanwhile!... for this intangible human factor values is paving the way into high end organizational process improvement.
For more info on the above issues, feel free to drop me an email to: info@theartofquality.com
