跨团队协作在当今时代已经成为最为普遍的组织工作模式,但令人遗憾地是,大多数协作都是高成本,低效率的,极端情况下,甚至会出现协作结果与预期南辕北辙的悲剧。让协作的过程和结果都足够“NICE”是每一位管理者都真心期待的。
Cross-team collaboration has become the most common work mode in today’s era. However, it is regrettable that many collaborations are costly, inefficient, and sometimes even result in outcomes contrary to expectations. Making the process and outcomes of collaboration "NICE" (i.e., cost-effective, efficient, and aligned with expectations) is a genuine aspiration for every manager.
想实现NICE的跨团队协作,要从四个方面去思考和采取行动。避免消极的假设是最基础的方面,很多协作还没有开始就已经宣告了艰难和失败,消极的假设“功不可没”。其次是要树立正确的理念,对协作有正确的认识才可能产生正确的做法,现实中有三个大坑总会让人跳进去还不自知,最终致使协作事倍功半。再者就是协作联系人的重要性不应该被忽视,一样的事不同的人去做,结果就会大相径庭。让协作各方全情投入也是NICE的关键,这其中还有七个关键步骤需要一一落实。
To achieve NICE cross-team collaboration, we need to take action from four perspectives:
First is to avoid negative assumptions, as they contribute to many failed collaborations by overly picturing potential challenges before the beginning.
Second is to establish the proper mindset, as a correct understanding of collaboration leads to appropriate actions.
The third aspect is recognizing the importance of collaboration contacts. There are three common pitfalls that often trap people and result in suboptimal collaboration outcomes. We ought not to overlook people's role in collaboration, as different individuals can yield vastly different results when given the same task.
Moreover, engaging all parties in collaboration is also a key factor. Among this there are seven crucial steps to be implemented.
