]]> Today’s (virtual) teams have yet to realize their full potential. They could learn a lot from Mother Nature’s teams. In episode 30 of The Project Shrink I am talking to Ken Thompson about “Bioteams”. Ken has used lessons from nature to provide us with insights and techniques on how to run teams more effective.

In this interview we discuss concepts like facilitated self-organization and distributed leadership.

Ken Thompson is an former software engineer, project manager and expert practitioner in the area of bioteaming, swarming, virtual enterprise networks, virtual professional communities, virtual teams and management simulation and has published two books, including: “Bioteams: High Performance Teams Based on Nature’s Best Designs”.
