Synopsis

This book uses visual tools to explore how high performance teams work. The best teams work like creative designers—and a "design approach" is the key to innovation and productivity. Visual Teams builds on Visual Meetings by showing users how to knit together best practices described in the first book, and turn them into strategies that work across the whole arc of a team's work life. It would also introduce new practices that are specifically designed to support team creation, development, and results.

While the overt purpose of the book would be to share visual practices for teams, it would also use visualization to help the reader gain insights into teams in general, introducing to a broad public the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model and related tools — a system used throughout companies like Nike, Genentech, Becton Dickinson, Chevron and others. Visualization emerges as a power tool for thinking about processes that move across time.

The book would also bridge from the old paradigm of thinking of teams as face-to-face and co-located, to distributed teams and networks as part of the teaming challenge. As teams become more and more virtual in today's global organizations, visualization is even more necessary for providing another channel of communication— one that opens up the group mind to thinking about systems, relationships, interconnections, and big picture contexts and consequences.
