Bill Ives: “I have been reading Peter Gloor’s new book, COINS @ Tipping Point — How to Convert Organizations into Collaborative Innovation Networks.” From the book’s introduction: “Team members initially work outside of organizational boundaries, without managerial supervision and employing minimal resources, but delivering stellar results.
