Joanna Zweig, Ph.D, PMP, CSM, CEO of Integral System Response

Joanna Zweig holds a Ph.D. in Integral Studies with an emphasis on Learning and Change in Human Systems (how groups learn and change) from California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, California, a Project management Institute (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Master (SCM) certification.  Her doctoral research on Group Coherence was motivated by her practical experience in two collaborative professional fields where groups, in both software development and theatrical production exceeded expectations and experienced enormous energy and success in their goals. She contributes to the “soft” side of Agile groups and software project management as a CSM or Technical Project Manager (and former programmer) helping teams to achieve their potential.

Dr. Zweig has worked as a project manager in information technology on enterprise initiatives in large businesses for more than fifteen years and has produced and directed theatrical productions for more than twenty years. Her passion for collaboration in creative groups helped her to formulate the idea of group coherence and carry out her four-year research project to find out about it. Her research on Group Coherence revealed a way to learn about capabilities of collective consciousness that guides successful collaboration beyond a group’s initial expectations. She is currently an independent consultant and CEO of Integral System Response, Inc.offering workshops to improve ability to benefit from collective consciousness in a group.  http://www.groupcoherence.com
