Can Your Team Take the Heat? November 2, 2012 – Johannesburg (SA)

We all like to think our team is fully optimized and

ready for action. Yet how do we know?

Learn to take the pulse of your team. Identify the one investment to go to the next level.

We have found four key conditions that make a highly effective team inevitable. At any given time, one of these conditions constrains performance. Resolving it is the key to higher sustainable performance. Learn more. QUESTION: Where is your team’s primary constraint? Choose one (I-‐IV).

I. Vertical Ways-‐of-‐Thinking and Acting The vertical impulse (↑) is the impulse to increase strategic possibilities. The horizontal impulse (→) is to manage risk. For sustained success, the vertical impulse should dominate over time.

A successful team culture requires both horizontal and vertical impulses. The right mix is critical as it profoundly affects innovation and the kinds of business models that are sustainable.

II. Complete System-‐of-‐Roles In a complete system-‐of-‐roles every key issue and relationship has a dedicated owner with sufficient authority to play their role.

Success requires champions who have the authority to innovate and drive performance, and do so interdependently as a team.

III. Aligned Strategies Strategies are aligned to the extent that they create competitive advantage across an organization.

Competitive advantage is measured by four factors: market potential, scalability, sustainability and return. Any strategy can be evaluated by its contribution to one or more of these factors. In this way, disparate strategies across an enterprise can be compared and integrated. IV. Optimized Workflows A business is a system-‐of-‐workflows designed to develop, sell and deliver products and services to customers with the help of partners in order to create competitive advantage.

Businesses grow at the speed at which primary constraints are resolved in this workflow. A team that shares this approach – and structures metrics, communication and innovation around it – is capable of acceleration.

You are invited to join business leaders in this breakfast session to learn distinctions that will enable you to quickly identify the primary constraint to your team’s effectiveness.
