A recording of this webinar will be available within one week of the live event.
In order to stay nimble in today’s competitive landscape, it’s crucial that companies are able to swiftly shift their organizational design and meet changing demands. But traditional team formation and resource staffing are often slow, laborious processes. So how do you overcome this barrier? By utilizing our increasingly interconnected and digital world to form “flash teams.” Flash teams, together with new, online platforms, enable you to more efficiently convene talent, measure output, and make informed adjustments in real-time.
In this webinar, Melisa Valentine, Assistant Professor of Management Science and Engineering (MS&E) at Stanford, will introduce this new technique of rapid team formation and propose online platforms that can improve the way you plan and execute work.
You will learn
- What flash teams are and how your organization can implement them to make better use of time and resources
- How coordinating multiple flash teams allows your organization to scale quickly
- How new platforms can support leaders to compose better teams, identify challenges, and establish accurate timelines
