The collaborative work systems fieldbook

Over the years, the Center for the Study of Work Teams (US) has established a reputation for publishing excellent books describing the theory and practice of team dynamics. Their latest offering, The collaborative work systems fieldbook: Strategies, tools and techniques, maintains this tradition.

For anyone actively involved in being part of (or even starting) a team and creating a high performance culture, then this book is ideal. It is crammed full of practical advice, team-oriented perspectives and exercises geared to improving individual, team and organisational performance.

The book provides practitioners (including change leaders, steering committees and line managers) with complete, step-by-step templates for creating collaborative work systems as well as advice for successfully negotiating the challenges they will face.

The scope of the book is huge. It’s not for light reading, but rather a comprehensive resource that will guide a practitioner in dealing with the implementation of collaborative work systems in value chains, cross-functional teams, organisational networks, stakeholder partnerships, strategic alliances and team-based organisations. The book will benefit those creating, shaping and running teams with an alignment model in mind.
