Program Highlights

There is a tendency amongst many organizations to distribute work to teams rather than getting it done through the older more traditional methods. Sometimes this tendency is carried too far as some organizations will form teams regardless of the situation. However there are situations where the team approach works extremely well and others where the team simply does not reach it's potential.

Dr. Meyer suggests how to avoid forming teams where they may not be necessary and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the team approach. He goes on to describe 15 factors that contribute to a team working efficiently and achieving it's goals. 

Christopher Meyer, PhD, is an internationally-recognized expert in technology management and innovation. He is the author of the book "Fast Cycle Time: How to Align Purpose, Strategy, and Structure for Speed" and the groundbreaking article "How the Right Measures Help Teams Excel," published in the Harvard Business Review.
