What does the Trend Team Network mean?
Coming from Taylorism, hierarchical, separating structures became the standard. These often have competing goals and separate reporting structures that make real cooperation difficult.
New Work thinks in terms of structures of value-adding teams and creates flexible possibilities to design work in teams and team networks as co-creating units. The responsibility for results is returned to the teams, which thus become the central structural unit and follow new decision-making patterns.
Such team networks (sometimes including external teams) are usually interdisciplinary and are more responsive and customer-oriented than the silo structures we are familiar with.
