The Business Situation

> Organizational processes are changing more rapidly and have shorter and shorter life cycles.
> Quickly building effective cross functional and inter-company teams to staff and operate these processes has become a critical factor in maintaining productivity and competitiveness.

> Staff need to be accurately placed.
> Business rules need to be collectively understood.
> Feedback and control mechanisms need to be worked out and implemented quickly and smoothly.

> These needs are even greater in quick-result, high-performance development, product and sales teams.

The Problem

With rapid process change and short term job assignments becoming the norm, managers and team leads are faced with an ongoing challenge of pulling together, motivating, and coordinating work groups made up of people from different functional areas and organizational cultures. This challenge includes:

> Dissatisfaction with job assignments
> Poor communication among team members
> Impatient and intolerant behavior in employee relationships
> Low productivity in daily task execution
> Inefficient handoffs and timing problems in multi-step work processes
> Lack of understanding and appreciation for skills and duties among team members and team leads

Being able to meeting these challenges and to rapidly establish good communications and mutual understanding within and across organizational boundaries is a critical factor in increasing productivity and competitiveness.
