Good teamwork is surprisingly rare. How can you make a difference?

Teamwork is the only strategy that works for new, interdependent or ambiguous challenges. However, good teamwork is rare, even among small stable teams. *)

Knowing what is needed for teamwork helps to focus the effort and to invest the energy. This interactive talk covers a comprehensive approach based on research and time-tested techniques:

o Why to bother
o Trust, care, and love for the shared mental and physical space
o The organizational conditions by Richard Hackman
o Leadership and Group Dynamics on the path to acting as one team
o Individual team member's perspective
o Apply Teamwork wisdom to product groups, communities of practice, temporary task forces, etc.

You will be entertained by the content. We will do some small exercises, and you are encouraged to collect your own action plan. After the 1 hour talk we have drinks and room for more questions.
