You have all the experts assembled for a project, now what is the best way to get experts to work together?  Do you want a highly centralized or decentralized approach?  Whether you leading a project within your company, with a customer or perhaps across an alliance of constituents the working model is key to the project’s success.  The Harvard business Review article outlines that the answer is not one size fits all rather an approach based on the project phase.
