The Organizational Challenge
Advancing technologies and a global marketplace is changing how organizations work. Customers are more informed and demand better quality at lower costs. The time from idea to implementation is critical in responding to market pressures and conditions.
To meet these challenges companies are reorganizing, becoming flatter and more matrixed. The human dynamic, however, continues to provide obstacles to this effort. Organizations face the challenge of breaking down silos, getting different departments or functions to share information and collaborate, quickly overcoming cultural differences and eliminating turf guarding.
Key questions organizations are asking:
• How do we create a shift in thinking so that the mission becomes more important than individual agendas?
• Are our existing systems and structures capable of responding to customer needs in a rapidly changing environment?
The Breakthrough Solution
An Integrated Project Team (IPT) is a solution to project development that links stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of a project. IPT’s align departments and functions of an organization, or different organizations, to make better decisions--faster.
Our unique approach to IPT’s quickly breaks down the barriers that get in the way of getting work done. We guide organizations through the process of building IPTs using a proven roadmap to get real impact and bottom line results.
The process of creating teams consists of more than just a workshop designed to build trust and cohesiveness. Our approach puts teams on the path to high performance through a clear “how to” approach that fosters confidence and commitment and accelerates team capability and effectiveness. We excel at integrating IPTs into one cohesive process and structure.
As a result, organizations can leverage and maximize resources by:
• Reducing bureaucracy and implementation time
• Improving the timeliness and quality of decisions
• Increasing customer satisfaction
• Improving results in cost, schedule and performance
