PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Through a series of organizational experiments with major European users, the objectives of the TEAM project were to:

• Identify a set of organizational techniques that improve the way in which procurements are managed
• Evaluate new communication and project management tools to determine the impact they have in improving procurement team performance
• Explore new approaches to creating more cohesive teams
• Identify team management approaches for addressing complex problems and for making better-informed supplier/technology decisions
• Quantify the perceived improvements of each team-building experiment based on organizational surveys and data collection
• Provide a set of case studies showing team-building approaches that were shown to yield the greatest benefits for managing procurement teams and delivering successful IT projects
