How work really gets done

I designed this presentation as a thought starter for groups of people who believe work gets done via well defined rules, hierarchies and the ability to refer to the best practice database. This presentation challenges all that and encourages the audience to rethink how work really gets done.

This is an "in person presentation". I'm happy to share the hand out notes as well if anyone is interested.

I'm from Melbourne, Australia.

I go and I see amazing science being done, I think, ‘Whoa, can we work together? Because that is one of the pieces of the jigsaw, I can see that it will fit and I can see I can help you with maybe a little bit of yours but you can help me with mine.’” Fiona Wood , Scientist and 2 005 Australian of the Year ABC Talking Heads http://www.abc.net.au/talkingheads/txt/s1711934.htm
