Team

Knowledge is a commodity; a handful of skills form a nice profile, but the functioning of the team determines the degree of success. The acknowledgement that the quality of the team can be a decisive component of success is an important part of the Corridors Connecting Plans Method©, especially when the company is facing a significant change in circumstances.
Our method analyzes the fit of the team and the strategy in a baseline measurement. If there is a mismatch, we assess how to deal with this. Possibilities include training, coaching and, if necessary, the temporary addition of external skills through contract workers. Everything is aimed at preparing the current team for the new situation.

Orientation

In case of a significant change of circumstances additional elements in human resource management can help to put the strategy in place. These range from personal development to team building. Temporary or long-term addition of contract workers provides the necessary support in man-hours and skills if the latter are too specific to house internally.

Obstacles
  • Some people find it a bit daunting to assess themselves and to evaluate the way their team operates. Fear of potential undesirable consequences is often a problem. Advantages, such as personal development, are thus often overlooked.
Solution
  • Organizations with strong teams operate better, faster and smarter. This is even more true when a company is going to undertake activities that are substantially different from what it has done before.
  • There should be an acceptance that hesitation and fear are very common in situations of change. The best way to deal with this is through a careful approach based on personal development. All this is done with continuation and strengthening of the current organization in mind.

Decision

The team has to be effective before and after the change in circumstances. Therefore, the aim is to create an organization that is fit for the future with a team that delivers optimal performance in all circumstances. 
Whether that is achieved solely with the company’s own employees, or in combination with contract workers depends on market circumstances and the company’s preference.

Obstacles
  • It is often too expensive to employ people with specialist skills full time. Besides, in many smaller organizations their workload would not be sufficient to keep them fully occupied. This might even lead to low employee satisfaction and subsequent resignation.
Solution
  • Flexible support from a network of professionals that can add specialist skills offers the flexibility to add to the company’s pool of talent on a temporary or a fixed basis.
  • This model lays the foundation for flexible and responsible growth of the company.
  • The skills of external specialists are thus building blocks that the company can access by making connections or by using an existing network such as the one offered by Corridors.

Obstacles
  • The company should be prepared for changes that arise if employees decide to leave the company. Scale and the degree to which it is possible to anticipate such changes will impact succession planning. The smaller the company, the more difficult it usually is to ensure a proper hand-over. The latter is often seen as cumbersome.
