Dynamic Teams, Projects and Organisational structures and Culture
1. Organisational structure
An organisational structure defines how activities such as task allocation, coordination and supervision are directed towards the achievement of organizational aims.
常見3種組織方式:Functional, Dedicated Proejct Teams, Matrix
根據(jù)實(shí)際情況要調(diào)整組織模式,不同的模式各有利弊苛坚,具體使用也和企業(yè)文化有關(guān)氢拥。
下圖是選擇structure的表格莽鸿,實(shí)用性很強(qiáng)出皇。
1.1 Functional Organisation of Projects

- Fast – Full attention
- Cohesive - motivated
- Cross-functional integration
(2)disadvantage
- Expensive – additional staff
- Internal strife – “us vs. them”

1.3 Matrix Organisation of projects
Hybrid organizational structure(matrix) is overlaid on the normal functional structure. Matrix structure optimizes the use of resources.是前兩種的平衡府喳,根據(jù)實(shí)際情況決定。
(1)advantages

- Strong project focus – dedicated PM
- Easier post-project transition
- Flexible – use of appropriate expertise and resources
(2)disadvantage
- Dysfunctional conflict – PM(Project Manager) and FM(Functional Manager) tension

2. Team Development (Tuckman's Stages)
- Forming: uncertainty about roles, looking outside for guidance.
- Storming: growing confidence in a team, rejecting outside authority.
- Norming: concern about being different, wanting to be part of a team.
- Performing: concern with getting the job done.
團(tuán)隊(duì)磨合的過程大概是從初見到分歧蘑拯,逐漸磨合理解后分歧減少钝满,回歸到合理范疇,共同完成任務(wù)申窘。
