Actively build and nurture. You can allocate individuals on the team targets to build relationships with. These could be contractors. They could be clients. They should be customers. Expand the list over time and monitor progress regularly, at least at the end of every month with the day-to-day team. Co-elevate with both customers and suppliers.

Avoid Needless Reorgs

Many enterprises chase the pendulum of organizational redesign because one part of the business and an adjacent part are not collaborating effectively. It’s determined that we have to shift the span of control of one group or another. A couple of years later, there’s another reorg because we’re bumping into another problem at another adjacency of what one group wanted control over. And another few years we call in another consulting firm and they redesign the org chart, yet again. Sound at all familiar? Work is often described as existing in multiple dimensions: business P&Ls, support functions, geographies, etc. That may be a decent way to describe an organization but that’s not how work gets done.

Our conceptualization of how work should be organized is that it needs to start with goals. Every goal has a team involved in achieving it. Who is on that team? That brings us back to the idea of Teaming Out and Relationship Action Plans and seeing teams consisting of the appropriate network, a multidisciplinary collaboration that is convened to achieve a goal. It’s drawn from a network rather than a rigid org chart—with each multidisciplinary team executing goals in sprints of work (which we will discuss in the next chapter). I’ve always said to my clients, please don’t rush into a reorg; let’s first have a shot at coaching our team leaders how to lead across the organization through first getting clear on our goals and then designing inclusive RAPs and working these networked teams in agile sprints. In these cases, we are merely implementing agile teamship within a networked organization.
