Achieve Your Company Goals with a Team Management System

For an organization to achieve its vision, mission, and strategic objectives, everyone must do their part. But without a Team Management System (TMS), it can be challenging to keep teams moving in the same direction. A strong TMS ensures attitudes and work behaviors are aligned throughout your organization. Your TMS calls on each team to set performance goals aligned with the enterprise’s strategic objectives. Every quarter, teams report progress towards achieving stated goals.

Why Use Right-Minded Teamwork’s TMS Model?

In this book, you will learn the Right-Minded Teamwork (RMT) approach to implementing a Team Management System. As you follow this four-phase plan, you will align teammate attitudes and work behaviors with company values to produce results. Within the first six to 12 months, your TMS will begin paying for itself. Within the first year, your TMS will demonstrate consistent, enterprise-wide gains. In this book, you will find detailed guidance on implementing all four phases. You will also find operation agreements, charters, and specific actions to take for the first 90 days and beyond.

Here’s How RMT’s Team Management System Works

TMS is much like your employee performance management system but on a team level. Every team in the enterprise sets performance goals that align with and help achieve the enterprise’s strategic plan. Every quarter, each team measures and reports its actual progress towards achieving those goals. The following teams should be initially involved in establishing the organization’s TMS: Executive Leadership, TMS Steering Team, and Internal team-building facilitators. Eventually, the TMS is rolled out across the organization, and all teams participate.

Phase 1 - Executive Leadership launches TMS. Here RMT is implemented in the executive team; RMT is adopted as the enterprise’s standard teamwork process and Executives establish a Steering Team that will start up and initially manage the TMS.

Phase 2 - Steering Team creates, organizes, and pilots the TMS. Here the Steering Team creates the enterprise’s startup TMS, chooses team facilitators, pilots the startup TMS in a few teams, and fine-tunes the TMS in preparation for a broader enterprise rollout.

Phase 3 - Measure performance and roll out the TMS to all teams. Within three to four months after startup, the first quarterly TMS results are reported, The TMS is rolled out to more teams within the first 12 to 18 months and within 24 months, TMS quarterly reports demonstrate beneficial enterprise results.

Phase 4 - Continue TMS for growth and sustainability. The Steering Team is transformed into a stable growth and management phase with the executive team’s support and guidance.

Benefits: Why Establish an RMT-Based Team Management System?

This enterprise-wide alignment ensures all teams are pulling the organization in the same direction. Consequently, the organization regularly achieves a higher percentage of its strategic goals year over year. Within the first six to 12 months, RMT’s version of a TMS will begin paying for itself.
