Resources are then organized very quickly around "the work" with high performance teams of knowledge workers assembling to deliver exponential value in a compressed time period.

"The highest option is the only interesting one. What we accomplish together will be exponentially greater than the sum of what can be done individually. What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?" JFS

GAIL TAYLOR'S background is in education, community learning, project management, and business. She began her career in elementary education after receiving her B.S. in Education from the University of Kansas. In 1972, after teaching in Kansas City, Missouri, she founded the Learning Exchange, a place where teachers could exchange ideas and rekindle their enthusiasm. By offering a teaching and learning environment where teachers were challenged with new ideas, Gail believed the quality of teaching in the entire Kansas City area would improve.

Under her direction, the Learning Exchange became a nationally recognized, community educational resource center. Gail was named one of Kansas City's ten most outstanding women for her work in education and community development. The Kansas City Learning Exchange enabled Gail to test and refine her approach to group participation and problem solving, team co-design, networking, and facilitation of "group genius." She was also especially interested in solving "systemic" problems, i.e. problems that cannot be solved without re-designing a larger system, of which they represent only one part.
