Want to archieve success in innovation, transformation, or sustainability? It's time to establish X-Teams!
For the past 12 years, we at INNDUCE.me have been dedicated to discovering ways to help organizations adapt to a rapidly evolving world, enhancing their impact through innovation, transformation, and sustainability.
Recognizing opportunities and effectively capturing them is a crucial component in building today's essential ambidextrous organizations—those that can thrive in day-to-day operations while simultaneously planning for the future.
While traditional teams focus on internal dynamics—such as goal-setting, role allocation, conflict management, fostering collaboration, and building trust—X-Teams take it a step further by being externally oriented.
They navigate both internal and external boundaries, interpreting a shifting landscape, advocating for resources, securing support for their ideas, and connecting with various groups both inside and outside the organization.
MIT Sloan School of Management professor Deborah Ancona introduced X-Teams to a wider audience of leaders, highlighting their ability to forge connections across the organization and the larger ecosystem to accomplish objectives.
A great way to kick off a process to embed these teams is by utilizing INNDUCE.me, a practical and reliable method designed to assist professionals in tackling transformation challenges.
