How might we organize communications more effectively? My hypothesis: A distributed model will work better. (More on this later, you can see some preliminary thoughts in an article I wrote for telecentre.org.)
My focus here is on developing a better way to work for distributed, multidisciplinary, cross-cultural teams. More specifically research teams, international development projects, social change initiatives.
I’ll add the resources I find so far to this post. So it will get updated as I find new ones and learn which are most helpful.
If you have anything you think I should look at please let me know.
