Via IFTF I came across an interesting blog called Bumble Bee. The catchphrase of the blog is Bioteaming. The idea is that organisms like bees have a certain governing feature and so should companies if they want to live longer.
I’m not completely sold on the idea. Some of the reasoning sounds childish. One post is titled "Fact: Biological Organizations live longer." This begs the question: longer than what? It’s unfair to compair the lifetime of a single company and the existence of a species.
Still, I liked the fundamental idea, I’m just not sure it has follow thru. The fact is, companies are run by biological entities (humans) working as a team. Companies already are bioteaming in a sense. It’s just that we aren’t as organized as bees, ants and the rest. Still, I like websites that try to create a new buzzword.
