My last post, Institutional Innovation and Podular Design, noted a number of insights from the Aspen Institute's report, Institutional Innovation: Oxymoron or Imperative?. One insight which I did not discuss is relevant to understanding the changing way teams work together in organizations and, by implication, in a Connected Company. Richard Adler the Rapporteur for the Aspen sessions, notes that, "New findings about the power of collective intelligence and about the most effective ways of organizing teams are providing practical insights about how to accelerate innovation." Several research projects in recent years noted the fuzzy boundaries of teams in large organizations. Skilful Minds first noted this phenomena in Who’s on Your Team? Enterprise 2.0 and Team Boundaries , and then a couple years later in Social Learning, Collaboration, and Team Identity. In fact, the phenomena of transitory team membership is so pervasive that some people propose we analyze "teaming" rather than teams when talking about how groups organize for cross-functional purposes within, or between, companies.
