Philosophy
Think innovatively about team building. These are not business as usual times. The new normal is about complexity, innovation and global competition. “Form follows function” used to be a recipe for good design. However, good design is no longer a guarantee for success. Today, highly sophisticated interaction concepts, digital user interfaces, brand guidelines and global markets add complexity to the development of products and services, which no longer can be addressed by individuals.
Only high-performing teams lead to success. Collaboration is essential in business today. We have to do more with less, produce better quality and come to market ever faster. The complex just became even more complex. Teams must be able to dive into complexity without getting lost. Teams must amplify each individual’s talents to get the most out of collaboration and the team. The makeup of a team and the resulting chemistry can make or break a project; friction and dysfunction can derail the outcome of a project. Traditional project management methods typically do not take team make-up into account and projects frequently fail. Norman’s Law of Product Development states that a project is behind schedule and over its budget the day it is started. Together, we can change this.
The happiness factor. Employee retention is one of the most essential variables in any creative business. Learn how to leverage the creativity and talent of each employee, harness their collective minds and build agile and smart teams. Apply cognitive models and team-building tools to better optimize team dynamics to optimize project outcomes and increase profitability. Build happiness in your organization by tapping into the intrinsic motivations that drive team success.
