The strategy focuses on building and optimizing strategic teams and services within an organization. It starts with identifying and defining team roles by conducting a skills gap analysis and creating detailed job descriptions. The roles are aligned with clear responsibilities, expectations, and KPIs to measure performance. An example might involve evaluating current team members for potential fit and establishing mentorship programs to support new roles, considering diversity and professional development needs.
Another component is fostering team collaboration and communication. This strategy includes actions like implementing regular team meetings and encouraging cross-functional projects, which can enhance teamwork and align team objectives with organizational goals. For instance, scheduling team-building activities can improve communication skills and create a feedback loop for continuous improvement.
The final element focuses on enhancing service delivery efficiency. The organization aims to identify inefficiencies through process mapping and utilize technology to automate tasks. By integrating lean methodology and setting benchmarks for performance, an organization can gather customer feedback to refine service delivery further.
