When to Use Self-organizing Teams?

When to Use Self-organizing Teams?

In the past, companies have relied on a hierarchical structure to manage employees and distribute authority. However, with the rise of complex business challenges and the need for adaptability in ever-changing environments, this traditional model can be limiting. Self-organizing teams, made up of individuals with shared goals and a deep understanding of the company's strategic direction, offer a more effective structure. By distributing authority evenly and allowing each team member to take ownership of their work, self-organizing teams can lead to higher performance and more innovative solutions. Companies like Google and Buurtzorg have successfully implemented self-organizing structures in their teams, resulting in increased effectiveness and customer satisfaction.
