Flocking behaviors
In a typical divided company -- that is, a company that's organized by division -- behaviors tend toward the territorial. Departments and divisions are territory, to be protected and defended, fostering a culture of competition.
In a connected company, collaborative behaviors need to replace this culture of division. New skills are needed. I've been working with Mike Bonifer, author of GameChangers: Improvisation for Business in the Networked World, to create a framework for 21st-century connected work skills.
