Establishing Team Priorities
Before complex issues can be resolved, they must be recognized, understood, and prioritized. A Reality-Based Technology, Establishing Team Priorities teaches a systematic, step-by-step approach to plan how the team will resolve pressing issues. This process provides the right answers to the fundamental questions ...
- What must we accomplish?
- What issues impacting this accomplishment now or might do so in the foreseeable future?
- What issue should we be working on now? What next?
- How can we most effectively address each issue so that it is resolved?
- Who on the team should be involved in addressing each issue?
- How will we know when the issue is resolved or needs further input?
Establishing Team Priorities
In the workshop, participants learn how to identify the issues requiring action, how to clarify the issues so that each may be addressed, and how to assess the impact and timing implications of each issue so that appropriate priority can be set. Participants then learn how to plan a strategy for resolving each issue, including the type of participation, the accountability for results and the system for measuring and evaluating accomplishments.
As a team, members learn how to coordinate their inputs so that Establishing Team Priorities becomes a very efficient and effective use of the team's time. Over half of the workshop is devoted to team use of this process for their current work.
Benefits
