Team Collaboration Strategy

 In this section, begin by further defining the responsibilities and actions that represent the implementation of the plan. One strategy to defining this is to take a “who, what, where, and when” approach for each team member. For example: • Project Manager A will apply the double-loop feedback model on one new product project for a single quarter. • Project Manager B will apply the double-loop feedback model on all new product projects for a quarter. Vice President A will review the workloads of project managers using the double-loop feedback model every Thursday for one quarter. After you have roughly outlined the roles and responsibilities of team members, you will explain one or more collaborative approaches that will enable the team to work efficiently to achieve the plan’s objective. As with the change theories and leadership strategies, you may draw on the research you conducted for the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification assessment. However, you are being asked to give a more in-depth explanation of the collaboration approaches and look at how they will help the theoretical interdisciplinary team in your plan proposal. Another way to approach your explanations in this section is to think through the following: • What is the collaboration approach? • What types of collaboration and teamwork will best help the interdisciplinary team be successful? • How is the collaboration approach relevant to the team’s needs and will it help drive success? o Make sure to frame this explanation in terms of the subject of the plan proposal; that is, your interviewee’s organization. Required Organizational Resources For this section, you will be making rough estimates of the resources needed for your plan proposal to be successful. This section does not have to be exact but the estimates should be realistic for the chosen organization. Items you should include or address in this section: • What are the staffing needs for your plan proposal? • What equipment or supplies are needed for your plan proposal? o Does the organization already have these?  If so, what is the cost associated with using these resources?  If not, what is the cost of acquiring these resources? • What access (to patients, departments, and so forth) is needed? o Are there any costs associated with these? • What is the overall financial budget request for the plan proposal? o Staff time, resource use, resource acquisition, and access charged?  Remember to include a specific dollar amount in your request. After you have detailed your budget, make sure that you explain any impacts on organizational resources that could happen if your plan is not undertaken and successful. In other words, if the issue you are try to solve through your plan proposal persists or gets worse, what will be the potential costs to the organization? References
