Don’t let Teamwork Get in the Way of Agility

Effective teamwork has never been more important than it is today, with organizations facing volatile economic conditions and significant business threats. We have come to believe that working in teams with high collaboration helps companies tackle these challenges head-on – that this sparks innovation, enables agility, and achieves better outcomes. However, the reality is that teamwork usually fails to deliver on its promise; and in fact, in many cases, it actually undermines performance. PDRI’s new research recently published in the Harvard Business Review, shows that the most agile and competitively successful companies do something different – they Rightsize Teamwork. They clarify what good teamwork means in each context and judiciously select the right people to contribute, at the right time, so work gets done efficiently. Join us for practical ideas and examples on how to Rightsize Teamwork with your teams and organization. ​
