We all know our task and interdependencies (people/information/activities)
Much time and money is lost because interdependicies between people, systems and tasks are not known. This creates rework and hampers the quality of work. From a survey among 500+ professionals it shows that 34% is convinced but 25% is not convinced that alle team members know their task and interdependencies.
Shared context
A context is our personal story, perception or experience that frames the way we think and act. In groups the collective context, a coherent and shared ‘big picture’ of results and approach, stimulates co-creation and the willingness to participate.
The success strategy: We all recognize the big picture and we are willing to work together towards a collective outcome. We can discuss this factor using the following success markers:
- Shared vision
- Coherent overview
- Interdependencies
- Motivating outcome
- Translate big picture
Individual improvement
Find interdependencies by focussing on practical use and the group by using these awareness questions:
- How will ‘this’ work in practice?
- Who is involved and what is my role in the group?
- In what way does the quality of my task depends on other actions, information or people?
Team improvement
- Stimulate forward thinking (how will this look like?);
- Be specific about activities and relevant information
- Visualize interdependencies
Other interventions
Create clear definitions of the scope of work, the roles involved, groups tasks and individual tasks.
Use tools to:
- Define critical paths of activities
- Document system dependencies
- Improve information flow in the team
- Stakeholder analysis
