What CEOs should be thinking today: The new way to win a Nobel Prize

It used to be that winning a Nobel Prize was a lonely and solo pursuit. 

That's not the case anymore. 

Over the last 15 years, almost every Nobel Prize won in economics and physics is by groups of people collaborating worldwide.

This morning we see this confirmed again. 

A trio of scientists, Americans Harvey J. Alter and Charles M. Rice, and British scientist Michael Houghton, were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their discovery of the hepatitis C virus.

The way great culture and commerce changing work gets done these days is not an individual activity but by group effort where geography or languages do not restrict harnessing skills, insights, and talents.
