Team Member

Key Challenges

• No team member can succeed in isolation.  In many organizations, individual team members are left to fend for themselves, without any framework within which their contributions can be linked back to strategy. This is often the result of a lack of integration between whatever work styles and execution methods are being employed and strategic portfolio management. Organizations missing this top-down, strategy driven approach will find it difficult to generate optimal performance from teams, or their individual contributors.
• Lack of understanding drives lack of engagement.  Team members who lack this understanding of how their contribution delivers value will be less inclined to engage with their employer and the work, less committed to success and less productive.  Innovation and quality will be lower, work will be less consistent, and value will suffer.
• Different individual team members often rely on different tools to handle different work modalities with no ability to integrate the data from those systems.  Often that inability stems from a lack of consistent metrics across different ways of working, making it almost impossible to reliably assess performance and make appropriate adjustments. It can often also result in issues that directly impact team members – double allocation of a resource in two different tools for example.
