                                  Can Your Team Take the Heat?
                                         November 2, 2012 – Johannesburg (SA)
                                                           	
 
                                      We	
 all	
 like	
 to	
 think	
 our	
 team	
 is	
 fully	
 optimized	
 and	
 	
 
                                              ready	
 for	
 action.	
 Yet	
 how	
 do	
 we	
 know?	
 
                                                                                                       	
 

                                               Learn	
 to	
 take	
 the	
 pulse	
 of	
 your	
 team.	
 
                                        Identify	
 the	
 one	
 investment	
 to	
 go	
 to	
 the	
 next	
 level.	
 
	
 
We	
 have	
 found	
 four	
 key	
 conditions	
 that	
 make	
 a	
 highly	
 effective	
 team	
 inevitable.	
 At	
 any	
 given	
 time,	
 one	
 of	
 
these	
 conditions	
 constrains	
 performance.	
 Resolving	
 it	
 is	
 the	
 key	
 to	
 higher	
 sustainable	
 performance.	
 
Learn	
 more.	
 
	
 
QUESTION:	
 
Where	
 is	
 your	
 team’s	
 primary	
 constraint?	
 Choose	
 one	
 (I-­‐IV).	
 
	
 
	
 
                I.	
 	
 Vertical	
 Ways-­‐of-­‐Thinking	
 and	
 Acting	
 
                The	
 vertical	
 impulse	
 (↑)	
 is	
 the	
 impulse	
 to	
 increase	
 strategic	
 possibilities.	
 The	
 horizontal	
 impulse	
 (→)	
 
                is	
 to	
 manage	
 risk.	
 For	
 sustained	
 success,	
 the	
 vertical	
 impulse	
 should	
 dominate	
 over	
 time.	
 
       	
 

                A	
 successful	
 team	
 culture	
 requires	
 both	
 horizontal	
 and	
 vertical	
 impulses.	
 The	
 right	
 mix	
 is	
 critical	
 as	
 it	
 
                profoundly	
 affects	
 innovation	
 and	
 the	
 kinds	
 of	
 business	
 models	
 that	
 are	
 sustainable.	
 	
 
	
 
                II.	
 	
 Complete	
 System-­‐of-­‐Roles	
 
                In	
 a	
 complete	
 system-­‐of-­‐roles	
 every	
 key	
 issue	
 and	
 relationship	
 has	
 a	
 dedicated	
 owner	
 with	
 sufficient	
 
                authority	
 to	
 play	
 their	
 role.	
 	
 
	
 

                Success	
 requires	
 champions	
 who	
 have	
 the	
 authority	
 to	
 innovate	
 and	
 drive	
 performance,	
 and	
 do	
 so	
 
                interdependently	
 as	
 a	
 team.	
 
	
 
                III.	
 	
 Aligned	
 Strategies	
 
                Strategies	
 are	
 aligned	
 to	
 the	
 extent	
 that	
 they	
 create	
 competitive	
 advantage	
 across	
 an	
 organization.	
 	
 
                	
 

                Competitive	
 advantage	
 is	
 measured	
 by	
 four	
 factors:	
 market	
 potential,	
 scalability,	
 sustainability	
 and	
 return.	
 Any	
 
                strategy	
 can	
 be	
 evaluated	
 by	
 its	
 contribution	
 to	
 one	
 or	
 more	
 of	
 these	
 factors.	
 In	
 this	
 way,	
 disparate	
 strategies	
 
                across	
 an	
 enterprise	
 can	
 be	
 compared	
 and	
 integrated.	
 	
 
                       	
 
                       IV.	
 	
 Optimized	
 Workflows	
 
                       A	
 business	
 is	
 a	
 system-­‐of-­‐workflows	
 designed	
 to	
 develop,	
 sell	
 and	
 deliver	
 products	
 and	
 services	
 to	
 
                       customers	
 with	
 the	
 help	
 of	
 partners	
 in	
 order	
 to	
 create	
 competitive	
 advantage.	
 
                	
 

                Businesses	
 grow	
 at	
 the	
 speed	
 at	
 which	
 primary	
 constraints	
 are	
 resolved	
 in	
 this	
 workflow.	
 A	
 team	
 that	
 shares	
 
                this	
 approach	
 –	
 and	
 structures	
 metrics,	
 communication	
 and	
 innovation	
 around	
 it	
 –	
 is	
 capable	
 of	
 acceleration.	
 
                	
 
                	
 
       You	
 are	
 invited	
 to	
 join	
 business	
 leaders	
 in	
 this	
 breakfast	
 session	
 to	
 learn	
 distinctions	
 that	
 will	
 enable	
 you	
 to	
 
       quickly	
 identify	
 the	
 primary	
 constraint	
 to	
 your	
 team’s	
 effectiveness.

Growth River Executive Breakfast Series

  • 1. Growth River Executive Breakfast Series Can Your Team Take the Heat? November 2, 2012 – Johannesburg (SA) We all like to think our team is fully optimized and ready for action. Yet how do we know? Learn to take the pulse of your team. Identify the one investment to go to the next level. We have found four key conditions that make a highly effective team inevitable. At any given time, one of these conditions constrains performance. Resolving it is the key to higher sustainable performance. Learn more. QUESTION: Where is your team’s primary constraint? Choose one (I-­‐IV). I. Vertical Ways-­‐of-­‐Thinking and Acting The vertical impulse (↑) is the impulse to increase strategic possibilities. The horizontal impulse (→) is to manage risk. For sustained success, the vertical impulse should dominate over time. A successful team culture requires both horizontal and vertical impulses. The right mix is critical as it profoundly affects innovation and the kinds of business models that are sustainable. II. Complete System-­‐of-­‐Roles In a complete system-­‐of-­‐roles every key issue and relationship has a dedicated owner with sufficient authority to play their role. Success requires champions who have the authority to innovate and drive performance, and do so interdependently as a team. III. Aligned Strategies Strategies are aligned to the extent that they create competitive advantage across an organization. Competitive advantage is measured by four factors: market potential, scalability, sustainability and return. Any strategy can be evaluated by its contribution to one or more of these factors. In this way, disparate strategies across an enterprise can be compared and integrated. IV. Optimized Workflows A business is a system-­‐of-­‐workflows designed to develop, sell and deliver products and services to customers with the help of partners in order to create competitive advantage. Businesses grow at the speed at which primary constraints are resolved in this workflow. A team that shares this approach – and structures metrics, communication and innovation around it – is capable of acceleration. You are invited to join business leaders in this breakfast session to learn distinctions that will enable you to quickly identify the primary constraint to your team’s effectiveness. © 2012 Growth River LLC, All Rights Reserved
