How Do You Transfer to Project Teams?

Project Teams
15
• Sutter Health’s “5 Big Ideas for Lean Project Delivery” –collaboration is key (“collaborate… really collaborate”).
• Setting the framework for collaboration:• Lean provides an ecosystem for
applying a collaborative culture to further project objectives
• Use pre-tools and resources available

Project Teams - Collaboration
16
• “Leadership” proactively steers the project; management using financial numbers is backward-looking.
• Have to be able to have honest, frank discussions about performance when lacking.
• Be prepared to coach individuals throughout the project when you notice the “5 dysfunctions of a team” cropping up.

5 Dysfunctions of a Team
17
• Sutter Health’s “5 Big Ideas for Lean Project Delivery” – projects are “networks of commitments”
• If the team isn’t keeping commitments then you have to start at the bottom and work your way back up.
• Same methods used as in the company (i.e. exercises).
• Build it up starting with trust.

Build Trust
18
• “The Speed of Trust” by Stephen Covey offers good guidance for building and maintaining trust.
• Starts with demonstrating respect for all parties on the team and project.
• Assumptions vs. reality – often serious lack of trust at project level.

Examples
19
Internally, our project teams are going through this process and have seen significant improvements. Typically the process is most effective if it’s set forth as a foundation as the project begins – as a precedent for project kick-offs.
• Positive client reactions • Build better trust, commitment between partners – issues are brought
to the table earlier in the process• Consistent schedule performance without sacrificing quality

Ultimately
20
We are building a culture within our organization that we hope each individual can carry to their project teams so they can lead and be successful in an environment with others / promote collaboration.• Measuring the same “5 Behaviors of a Team”
