a Stanford Graduate School of Business Executive Briefing
Features:
Christopher Meyer, Ph.D.
Chairman, Strategic Alignment Group
Highlights:
The challenges of converting an organization to team management.
Integrating teams and functions.
Architectural alternatives for team structure.
There's hardly an organization in existence today that hasn't begun to flatten its traditional hierarchy and redistribute work to multifunctional teams. Although easily launched with the multiple intents of decreasing cycle time, improving quality, and increasing customer satisfaction, most teams find it difficult to practice to reach their potential. Dr. Meyer details the fifteen key architectural elements required to create effective teams. He also addresses the tradeoffs and downsides of "teaming"-- the deadly reflex reaction to form a team regardless of the situation.
Christopher Meyer, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized expert in technology management and innovation. He is the author of Fast Cycle Time: How to Align Purpose, Strategy, and Structure for Speed and "The Second Generation of Speed" published in April, 2001 Harvard Business Review.
