3. Our History

4. Our Potential is Limitless…
Every person engaged with your organization is
an information system with the potential to
transform your organization’s future.
Individually they are “Thinkers.”
Combined they represent your potential.
This is the promise of collaboration –
Working together
we create significantly more value
than the sum of our individual contributions

5. But we limit ourselves…
Human nature dramatically restricts
the quality and quantity of our contributions in a group.

6. …And then we’re limited by the environment.
To get an amazing outcome, we need to engage more people.
But…
…the more people we engage, the more obstacles we add.
In this context, how do we deliver greatness?
