Today, organizations of all sizes (including emerging, small and mid-size businesses) are redesigning their structures to be more agile and adaptive. To better respond to today’s competitive and fast-pace business landscape, autonomous, flexible networks of teams are replacing traditional hierarchies.
Teams are formed to meet a need; they are empowered to take action; and they disband when their work is done. Individuals can serve on multiple teams which may be multi-disciplinary, cross-functional, culturally diverse, virtual ..... and increasingly structured through a mix of contingent or freelancing professionals and employees.
Getting the optimal team structure and mix combined with clarity of purpose has never been more important. Leading today's business teams has never been more challenging or critical to achieving business goals. As important for the organization are talented individual contributors who possess the skills to function effectively on the teams to which they belong.
