Ken Thompson studies how animals work together and applies that to finding ways for humans to work together better, too — he calls the methodology “BioTeaming.” I found his viewpoint to be different (he lives in Belfast, Ireland, so he comes at the world from a few different viewpoints than folks in Silicon Valley do), refreshing, and worth considering for your teams.

[…] Birds do it. Bees do it and so can we, as collaboration expert, Belfast-based Ken Thompson has proven.
