Sunday - April 30, 2006Common Tools, Distributed TeamGoogling casually online for research on
distributed teams and remote working alongside homeworking threw up much advice
on how to start a distributed team (and people willing to sell you all you need
to do so). There is also a fair range of advice 'out there' on the necessary
ingredients for success in a virtual team and many accounts which evaluate
participation within such a team. When idly perusing this emerging advice, the
early research and the rush to say how it should be done it all seems so
clinical, so matter of fact. Much of the language used about strategies and
networks is so cold and working online is always compared to the face to face
alternatives.
The working practices embedded within the culture of
Ultralab were and remain ahead of their time. More so it seems given that I have
not been able to find a fully and permanently distributed academic team attached
to a British University (I stand to be corrected though). Anglia Ruskin has a
quietly, though stunningly effective, groundbreaking team within its
fold
