In organizations with a product development process, up to 75% of the workforce can be committed to working on a team as well as within a function. Because communication and evaluation processes are usually structured for a strictly functionally organized business, there are gaps that weaken control, confuse communication and inhibit change. This form of bi-modal work needs an architecture that manages the whole team process in the context of a functional organization. When structures aren't built for this type of management, not only is the workforce sub-optimized but typically it is the core reason that teams malfunction. We approach team start-up and team alignment interventions with knowledge of the landscape needed for teams to thrive and how to install the right supports.
