OSMOTIC COMMUNICATION<br />
• Does it take you 30 seconds or less to get your question to the eyes or ears of the person<br />
who might have the answer ?<br />
• Do you overhear something relevant from a conversation among other team members at<br />
least every few days ?<br />
Osmotic communication means that in<strong>for</strong>mation flows into the background hearing of<br />
members of the team, so that they pick up relevant in<strong>for</strong>mation as though by<br />
osmosis. This is normally accomplished by seating them in the same room. Then,<br />
when one person asks a question, others in the room can either tune in or tune out,<br />
contributing to the discussion or continuing with their work.<br />
