The Magic of SYNERGY

Normally, 1+1=2.

But, sometimes when we work as a TEAM, 1+1 may become 11, 111, or even 1111! In fact, there is no

limit.

That is called SYNERGY;



A Team is where

People depend on each other

May or may not work in the same physical location

Combine to achieve something together

Work together successfully

Solve problems and reach decisions by getting input fromeverybody

Can adapt to change

Sustain the enthusiasm and lend support needed to completethe task



Partners are specialized in certain disciplines but

they try to be part of other areas and they point possible failures in other areas.

They complement each other, they search for agood way that all can reach the goal of the holeteam.

They all answer for the team’s work.

This is a transdisciplinary way of working all areinvolved in all areas.



WORKING GROUPS Partners are specialized in certain areas and each

one of them has the responsibility for that area, sohe has to answer for that department.

They have a goal to fulfill and then they need toreach to it and any mistake is fault of their own.

They do not care about other departments dutiesand procedures.

It is an interdisciplinary way of working, themembers know each other but they do not knowabout other areas.



Types of Teams

Problem Solving Team

Cross-Functional Team

Self- Managing Team

Virtual Teams



Problem-Solving Teams

Share ideas or offer suggestions on how work

processes and methods can be improved.

Rarely given authority to unilaterallyimplement any of their suggested actions

Typically composed of 5-12 hourly employees

from the same department

Example: Quality Circles



Self-Managed Work Teams

Collectively control pace of work

Determine work assignments

Organize breaks

Collectively choose inspection procedures

Select their own members and evaluate each other’s

performance

Generally composed of 10-15 people



Cross-Functional Teams

Members from diverse areas within and between

organizations

Exchange information

Develop new ideas and solve

Coordinate complex projects

Development is time-consuming due to

complexity and diversity Examples: Task Force and Committees



Virtual Teams

Computer technology ties physically dispersed

members together to achieve a common goal

Differentiating factors from other teams

– Absence of para-verbal and non-verbal cues

– Limited social context

– Ability to overcome time and space constraints



Why Have Teams Become So Popular

• Teams typically outperform individuals.

• Teams use employee talents better.

•

Teams are more flexible and responsive to changesin the environment.

• Teams facilitate employee involvement.

• Teams are an effective way to democratize and

organization and increase motivation.



Turning Individuals Into Team Players

The Challenges

Overcoming individual resistance to team

membership.

Countering the influence of individualistic cultures.

Introducing teams in an organization that has

historically valued individual achievement.



Turning Individuals Into Team Players

Shaping Team Players

Selecting employees who can fulfill their team roles.

Training employees to become team players.

Reworking the reward system to encourage

cooperative efforts while continuing to recognize

individual contributions.



Teams and Quality Management

Team Effectiveness and Quality Management

Requires That Teams:

1. Are small enough to be efficient and effective.

2. Are properly trained in required skills.

3. Allocated enough time to work on problems.

4. Are given authority to resolve problems and take

corrective action.5. Have a designated “champion” to call on when needed.



Beware: Teams Aren’t Always the Answer

Three tests to see if a team fits the situation:

Is the work complex and is there a need for different

perspectives?

Does the work create a common purpose or set of goals

for the group that is larger than the aggregate of the goals

for individuals?

Are members of the group involved in interdependent

tasks?



Thank you

oming together is beginning

Keeping together is progress and

Working together is success
