. . . The W3D Agile Virtual Enterprise

Agile Virtual Enterprises:

• respond quicker than traditional orgainzations because they tend to be smaller and communicate electronically;
• consist of those with the best experience in their field because team members tend to only want to work with people they trust to pull their share of the load;
• instantly pull appropriate technical support and content in from across time and spatial boundaries;
• produce the highest quality solutions because of the quality of the people that can and will work in this dynamic environment;
• are more cost-effective because the job gets done right the first time, and the team members know their next job is only as good as their track record on the last one;
• provide better integration of results into an existing organization because the team members consist of employees and consultants focused on solving specific technical problems; and
• document project results in a retrievable manner using organization tools like HTML documentation against project activity based Knowledge Backbones.

The following outlines the steps of forming and disolving a Virtual team:

(A Walden 3-D geotechnical team is used for the example, but the concept is generic across disciplines.)
