Invitation to Solve Problems as part of an Online Team

Registered Problem Solvers are invited by email to solve problems. Once you agree to work on a problem, you are given the details of the challenge, and are introduced to your team members. Teams are made up of 3 to 4 of your peers and assigned a Facilitator. Each team is given an online ThinkSpace™ where you can communicate with each other, enter and update ideas, and ask questions of the Seeker.

You will meet with your team online at least once a week, but you can enter your ideas and solutions at any time. Typically, one team members is chosen to write up the solution that is presented to the Seeker.

"We were very impressed by each other's skills that were perfectly complimentary for this task," Harper says. "We seemed to be able to cover all the bases with very few gaps in our knowledge – and kudos to Paul Wagorn and Scott Wurtele because they realized exactly what the project needed."
– Bernis Harper, PhD
