team launch

give every team a strong foundation

Research by J. Richard Hackman, who spent decades studying team performance, shows that 60% of the variation in team effectiveness is attributable to the design of the team, 30% to the way the team is launched. Team design isn’t just limited to hiring awesome people, but it considers the nature of the work, clarity in goals and enabling supports.
