- Under all project there’s a team: committed, adjusted
- A team is a small number of interdependent people that are spontaneously and naturally coordinated, with the motive of a common project, thanks to a feeling of membership, resulting from a determined level of cohesion, making decisions based on shared knowledge.+++
- Size
- Relation
- Behavior
- Self-coordination
- Feeling of membership: group vs team
- Capacity to make decisions from knowledge
- Why teamworking?
- Many agents
- Interconnections
- Interdependencies
- Free will
- Amount of possibilities
- Blurred future scenarios (anxiety and blocking)
- Diversity and talent
- Commitment and alignment
- Distributed capacity and self-coordination
- Teamworking emergent behavior (natural and spontaneous)
- Team work and team building
- They come together
- Team building – emotional side
- Team work – rational side
- Common errors on teamwork
- Teamwork is not a universal solution, nor an end in itself
- Collaboration is not always possible/needed.
- Only necessary when we have interconnections and interdependencies.
- Total parity is an element that limits performance.
- If you are looking for equality you will find it, but that’s not performance.
- It has to be in balance, but not equal: there should not be a big difference that one feel bad the other feels as a star.
- Teamwork is not a single competence.
- Cooperation in complexity
- Different levels:
- Networks’s level
- Teams’ level
- Individuals’ level
- Context:
- VUCA: volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity
- TUNA: Turbulent, uncertainty, novelty and ambiguity
- Culture eats strategy for breakfast” //Peter Drucker
- Changes run at exponential speed:
- Number of changes
- Impact of changes
- Importance of changes
- Changes run at exponential speed:
- Evolution prevents revolution
- If the environment changes: we have to adapt & learn
- Knowledge:
- Available: just learn
- Not available: experiment and learn
- “The winter is coming”: if you cannot adapt you will disappear (e.g.: Kodak vs digital camera)
- We will win as team or die as individuals

- Commitment and trust
- Interest is something what pushes us to competition
- Value is what brings us to cooperation
- Structure influences behavior
- E.g.: Taiwan lottery: each receipt gets a unique eight digit number stamped on it. On the 25th of every odd month they announce six winning numbers
- Communication facilitates interactions
- Constructivism:
- Humans make meaning with the interaction between their experiences and their ideas.
- People sitting in a bar having conversation can lead to working together.
- Communication – the human connections – is the key to personal and career success
- Constructivism:
The Cooplexity framework
- Main KPI’s
- Knowledge: To define and understand the project
- “I must have the ability and the knowledge”
- Participation: To commit the project
- “I should want to do it and have the opportunity to do it”
- How people are interacting: sharing ideas?
- Feedback: To perceive the result of my contribution
- “I am not an object but a subject, and it matters”
- Can be used to stimulate people: align, give purpose
- Feedback is always there (formal/informal), but one needs to be open/prepared
- Knowledge: To define and understand the project
Cooplexity Team’s Model six steps
- For cooperation and co-creation in complex systems
- They should be steps, not jumps!
- Mastering: know how to do what to do
- Relating: connect to others
- Integrating:
- The key element is the common project, the main thing to look for
- Common values
- We will always have conflicts: we are not to avoid rather to manage them
- Trusting:
- Values – clear values
- Neuroscience: limbic system - amygdala
- Respecting: accept others
- Assertiveness: say anything without hurting others, but say it!
- Decentralizing: being a big boss is not good for a team (it’s good in crisis situations though)
- Share leadership!
- Criteria: which direction
