The Abelian Name
The name Abelian Partners is derived from the abstract algebra concept of Abelian Groups. An Abelian Group is a set of objects that is commutative, or interchangeable. A typical example of an Abelian Group is the set of integers with respect to addition…that is a + b = b + a. While a and b are entirely different numbers, both can be interchanged without effecting the result.
Similarly, Abelian Partners builds its teams out of unique consultants each with a specific role and expertise. However, teams are managed from a very “flat” management style emphasizing the equivalency of members. Abelian teams communicate well and empower members to work cross-functionally and creatively. As such, partners, team consultants and clients become empowered as fully implementable solutions are developed.
