What I would be curious to know from the sponsors is the level of interaction and communication between the teams for a given sponsor or between the various sponors reps/contacts/mentors across the company.
I know at Lockheed Martin, each location handles it's first team separately (and that is better then a corporate mandate in my opinion... those tend to be bad for everyone). But we have started working over the last year or so at a grass roots level to get a network of Lockheed FIRST supporters so that we can better understand what the corporation does as a whole. And it also allows us to help folk at new locations who are starting teams.
What would be interesting interesting along with the raw number of teams would be a comparison between the number of teams and the companies gross sales, or some other measure that compares FIRST support to the relative size and business level. How about employees versus number of teams?
