About this title

From the Author:

The guide to working across boundaries of all kinds
This book is the first in our three-part trilogy on "networked organizations." Here we focus on how to work in "networks of teams," what we call "teamnets," that cross geographic and organizational boundaries. We offer several hundred examples of companies that have done so successfully and include the stories of how both Northern Italy and Denmark transformed their economies by creating hundreds of cross-company networks. We devote three chapters to "how-to," taking readers through a careful, practical process for launching "teamnets."
