Case Studies
- High-Tech Software Development Firm
A 25-member engineering and development team races to finish work on a new product launch, one that promises to revitalize stagnant company sales. The project progresses and the team expands rapidly with new engineers and additional interdepartmental staff.
- A Non Profit Social Service Agency
A 30 member cross-functional, multi-generational and culturally diverse team of teachers, clinicians, resident advisors and staff were charged with launching a new residential program for at-risk-teens. Their environment was always hectic, and the stress levels ran high. Mutual reliance was critically important, but because of the pace and the pressure, burn-out was common. To add to the challenge, the program manager had been recently promoted, was new to her leadership role.
- A Regional Health Care Organization
At this regional health care organization, a standing, interdepartmental meeting had long ago reached a dead-end. The meetings drag on, week after week. The team lost sight of it mission and purpose long ago with little progress and even less accountability. Few contribute, there's little debate and virtually no sharing of ideas. The agenda is quickly derailed and special interests usually prevail.
