Foresight in Organizational Relationships
نویسنده
چکیده
Opal is an EC funded project (IST-2000-28295) designed to establish if and how a computer application may support team building and partnership. The project focuses on the early stages of interaction where rapid and robust assessments must be made of potential partners’ competence, compatibility and confidence in each others’ future performance. One of the aims of the project is to assess whether it is possible to evaluate potential partners online on the basis of both hard and soft skills. It will do this by providing profiles of a range of partner attributes, including those contributing to feelings of compatibility and trust. This paper considers the design and research processes that underlie the construction of a probe to explore trust and foresight in organizational relationships.
