Forming the Team
|
Teamwork
is an essential part of working together.
We are looking for motivated people to
join a self-empowered, online team that meets
periodically (usually weekly) and provides a challenging
and stimulating experience. The goal is to enhance
teamwork and problem solving skills while developing
innovative recommendations for solving problems. We
feel that in addition to being a learning experience,
the process should also be fun. "Enjoy the journey"
