I'm interested in how to organize teams and ways-of-work that work on projects that have a certain aspect of uncertainty, where they might not work, or require great investment (time or resources), inherently.<p>Like, how was the organization that Oppenheimer vouched for when he led the Manhattan Project, or how did Alan Turing lead the work at Bletchley Park?<p>Something that kind of scratched that question in my mind was the Veritasium [1] on the invention of the Blue LED (fascinating btw). But that endeavor was largely pursued by a single scientist. How would the work have been had a team of people worked on that problem?<p>Do large pharmaceuticals, which might be some of the companies that already have some practice in that, publish some books, even if just historical accounts?<p>1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8d72mA41M
