Maximizing Team Science Innovation

We support scientists, research teams, and organizations in maximizing innovation and strategic thinking by building and sustaining team science effectiveness.

Team Science is no longer a buzz phrase. It accurately describes the evolution of research from a singular to an interdisciplinary pursuit capable of solving the complex challenges before humanity today.

Successful scientific teams and organizations require highly collaborative and communicative interactions. Staff must be valued and trusted as individuals yet perform as a high functioning team. Most scientists have little to no training in how to create, manage and lead highly competitive, functional teams.

Our mission is to work with you, your team, and organization to build capacity for establishing and sustaining highly effective collaborations.

We support individuals, teams and organizations in:

  • Catalyzing strategic thinking, design, and implementation

  • Creating conditions for innovation within teams and organizations to achieve a strategic advantage

  • Maximizing team science and collaboration efficacy using effective approaches for building and sustaining research teams

  • Increasing competitiveness through collaboration

  • Harnessing differences across disciplines, perspectives, and lived experiences to bring creativity to the problem-solving process
