Six Teams that Made History

Fortune Magazine has a great article in their June 19th edition that focuses on teams. A companion article lists the six teams that made business history.  They included the following:

  1. Menlo Park: Thomas Edison and Team crating the first corporate R&D lab
  2. Lockheed's Skunk Works which was noted for building remarkable aircraft
  3. Levittown- The first mass produced community (1947-1951)
  4. The Mac Team headed by Steve Jobs who built the first Macintosh computer
  5. Team Tauruscreated with saving Ford Motor Company
  6. MaCann Erickson - Ad Company who came up with the Mastercard campaign "Priceless"
It is an interesting group of teams. Somehow I think there are others. Can you think of a team that is worthy of this list? I will add two:
  • The Mosaic Group.. who moved Internet from an FTP stealth system to a commercially viable system
  • In response to the Mastercard.. I think the Visa group, who pioneered a whole new corp structure and made Visa the leading credit car.. I would rank them higher tha Mastercard!
