In fast-changing, cross-sector teams—where members may change frequently—teams cannot rely on strong relationships to support performance. This 2021 research introduces “joint problem-solving orientation” as a key mindset that helps fluid teams overcome boundaries and deliver results despite the churn of their members.

When teams form and reform constantly, can they manage both efficiency demands and the training of new, junior members? This experiment with inpatient medical teams reveals that team starts can spark coordination, and teams that manage both internal coordination and coordination with external partners may achieve both more efficient patient care and learning.

In the complex setting of Children's Advocacy work, where fluid sets of representatives from multiple agencies must work together, it's easy for teamwork to breakdown. This study highlights the importance of how teams feel about working together—trust, psychological safety, and clear direction—as key factors driving team performance.

Team-based care in high-stakes environments like the ICU can falter—not due to lack of evidence, but because of gaps in teamwork. This paper discusses the role of interprofessional education—training disciplines together instead of in silos—as a useful solution.

Tracing the evolution of research on organizational learning, this piece highlights four key processes—search, knowledge creation, retention, and transfer—and explores how each is shaped by experience and context. Understanding these dynamics can help leaders support learning and performance in teams and organizations.

This study shows that simply moving employees’ workspaces closer together can spark more individual exploration and better performance. In a natural experiment at an e-commerce firm, individuals relocated near previously distant colleagues explored more and also achieved stronger financial results. The findings highlight how spatial design can influence the flow of information and learning.

This study explores the potential for using a large language model (LLM) to facilitate learning in collaborative problem-solving environments. Teams in a college-level computer science course were assigned to one of three reflection conditions, including one in which an LLM was designed to stimulate discussion. The LLM condition was particularly useful for students with lower prior knowledge learned.

A transactive memory systems (TMS) refers to a shared understanding of who knows what in a group, and it's an important predictor of group performance. This work develops an automated and unobtrusive assessment of TMS that is significantly correlated with the most frequently used survey measure, creating the potential for advancing the understanding of TMS by analyzing it in contexts where administering surveys is not feasible.
