The Geodesic Team Theorem™ was developed by the company's founder, Dr. Meredith Gardner, who has spent her career inspiring organizations to bridge the communication gaps that naturally develop within and between corporate groups and departments.

Over time, Dr. Gardner noticed certain naturally occurring, and almost predictable informal networks within organizations which exert strong influence over the success of all interdepartmental and vertical communication, management, and leadership initiatives within the enterprise. The networks work both positively and negatively ---Positively when they are acknowledged, formalized and harnessed; and they work negatively when they run wild unacknowledged exerting their silent influence.

This informal network can best be conceptualized as a geodesic sphere. The Geodesic Team Theorem™ proposes that in order to visualize how human interaction actually takes place (outside of the formal management chain), one must understand both the simplicity and the intricacies of the Geodesic Sphere.

GEODESIC SPHERE DEFINITION: On a Geodesic Sphere, the geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that have local triangular rigidity and also distribute the stress across the entire structure. When completed to form a complete sphere, it is known as a geodesic sphere. The endpoints of the links of the completed sphere would then be the projected endpoints on the sphere's surface.

GEODESIC TEAM THEOREM™ DEFINITION: Transferring the concept from geometry to management, the Geodesic Team Theorem™ states that all individuals and departments are connected to each other forming one large interconnected team ---The total sphere or enterprise. Very similar to a geodesic sphere, these networks form in a triangular fashion throughout the organization as miniature triangular modules of (me, you, and us) which fit into larger modules of (individual, departmental, and enterprise). These miniature triangular networks eventually connect all personnel within the enterprise and cut across departments, levels, silos, cohorts, and even virtual involvements.

The Geodesic Team Development™ Series is a comprehensive set of management, leadership, and communication soft skill training modules turbo-charged by the Geodesic Team Theorem™. By understanding this new organizational model, and simply shifting the perception of how the enterprise actually exists and functions; CIO's are able to harness this powerful phenomenon to develop, expand and super-charge both their strategic and tactical effectiveness.
