What to expect
Gone are the days of static organizational charts and staffing based on the manager's rolodex and intuition. Now you can recruit any expertise you need from a global online network within minutes: an on-demand, on-the-spot expert at the exact moment that you need their help. You can right-size their involvement, too; some of those experts give a second opinion or a moment of brainstorming, whereas others join as full-fledged team members for a sustained collaborative effort.
This is the future promised by flash teams, a model that The New York Times has already praised for its "revolutionary potential": a world where experts are available anytime and everywhere, where remote work has become a norm, and where AI is in the loop to guide team decisions. In Flash Teams, award-winning management scholar Melissa Valentine and computer scientist Michael Bernstein chart the opportunities of flash teams and navigate the challenges that teams and managers will face.
Drawing on original research and industry examples, this book will help listeners to:
- Recognize and source needed expertise within minutes
- Anticipate and plan team designs with AI
- Redesign team structures on the fly as projects evolve
