Introduction

Flash mobs are on-demand, real-time, virtual work groups where a number of people come together for rapid development sessions. This may involve design, CAD, strategic development, video editing, or other sessions.

This technique involves:

  1. Gathering a group of people and organizing them by subject matter areas of expertise
  2. Calling a flash mob together for a work session.
  3. Expected commitment is 1-2 hours per week via a working teleconference.
  4. The platform for doing this should include voice communication, central shared screen, and file sharing for collaboration- in absence of a dedicated platform.
  5. A dedicated platform should be created to accommodate the team development needs.
  6. The work session requires:
    1. Organizer to call out and run a session - organizer presents a working problem
    2. People prepare beforehand - by understanding what the work session will be about
    3. Preparation of a clear problem statement and preparatory materials
    4. Specific procedure for collaboration, material sharing, and upload
    5. Skilled participants to get work done

Platform

We need someone to help on a Flash Mob platform for recruiting and calling working sessions.

It would be useful to develop a simple platform:

  • Survey such as this but focusing specifically on Flash Mob Recruitment:
    • What is your subject matter area of expertise (see Subject Matter Experts) + organizational development + scaling + video editing + resource development + business plan writing + strategic development + legal support + curriculum development + tax structuring + recruiting + storytelling + etc)
