It’s time to introduce the world to the Mach 30 way of working. Seth Godin has good ideas on how to do (and how not to do) just that.

Spreading Mach 30

There is a reason Mach 30 keeps coming back to the Star Trek metaphor. . .
by Maureen Carruthers.
Because it works. The tech may be sci-fi but the leadership and organizational development lessons are real and apply to the work we do every day.

Problem solving in consensus groups
by Maureen Carruthers.
One of my responsiblities at Mach 30 is to help create a culture of collaboration. A big part of the success of that endevor will revolve around how well we solve problems. The article below is about problem solving in intential communities–not an exact match but the article does a good job of comparing how most groups work in our socieity and how groups based in consensus models (like Mach 30) aim to work.

If you’ve got questions, observations, or comments on how this does (or does not) apply to our work, please share them.
Do you really plan to totally change the way the space industry works?
by Maureen Carruthers.
Yes. What are you going to do to help?
What I’m doing to help
I’ll answer first. I’m reading everything I can find about building on-line communities, and working in consensus models so when we reach people (like you) who want to be a part of something cool they will want to join us 🙂
I’d also like to note that I have an MFA–not an engineering degree. Don’t pass up working with Mach 30 just because you aren’t an engineer. We’ve got projects for everyone.
