The article discusses a 20-year research program aiming to improve how project organizations are designed. The researchers developed a tool called the Virtual Design Team (VDT) to help managers create effective project teams for complex projects. The VDT is a simulation tool that helps design work processes and team structures. The goal is to turn organization design into a more systematic process, rather than relying on intuition. The researchers suggest that using computational modeling can enhance organization design and improve project outcomes.
