The initial idea for Talentformation originated at OTTO. When Michael put together virtual remote teams of highly skilled experts and worked on challenging projects under very challenging circumstances he discovered that by aligning skilled remote professionals, assigning each a clearly defined role and removing the negative effect of organisational politics that the collaborative process thrived as well as the individuals in the teams.
The teams’ will and momentum to deliver high quality products on time deeply impressed and inspired Michael. In late 2009 he founded TFN – the Talent Formation Network – a platform to systematically expand and strengthen that initial experience and vision.
