the information, the goals, the skills and so forth that we need to reveal to work well together. KM -- One of the traditional models is the "Forming, Storming, Norming" kind of model. Is that still relevant in this world of teaming rather then teams? AE -- I think the model of Forming, Norming, Storming and so on is still relevant but it's sped up. So the forming, the norming and the storming might happen in a matter of minutes or hours rather then days or weeks. I think maybe if we all see it coming, we know there will be storms, there will be a need to at least form temporarily in order to do our work. We will be better equipped to go through those phases and, in a sense, get them over with. I don't think that every team or every teaming encounter has to form, storm, norm and then get into a gear that is fairly stable, but I do think we have to expect conflict.
