Book description
Graphic tools and visual solutions for team building and development
Visual Teams uses visual tools and methods to help teams-both
face-to-face and virtual-reach high performance in today's work
environment. As teams become more and more global and distributed,
visualization provides an important channel of communication-one that
opens up the group's mind to improving work systems and processes by
understanding relationships, interconnections, and big picture contexts.
Visual Teams shares best practices and uses visualization as a
power tool for process improvement by providing teams with a common
language for high performance. The book:
- Explores how any kind of team can draw on the principles and
practices of creative design teams in the software, architectural,
engineering, and information design professions
- Introduces the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance™ Model and
related tools-a system used throughout companies such as Nike,
Genentech, Becton Dickinson, Chevron, and others
Visual Teams presents a comprehensive framework, best
practices, and unique visual tools for becoming an innovative,
high-performance team.
