We created interventions using Team Management Systems methodology and language. The language of Team Management Systems helped us as practitioners and will aid our clients as they work within our systems. Awareness and information empowers people to alter their actions based on conscious decisions and predetermined goals. New behaviors, although comfortable, are necessary. Understanding why certain behaviors are uncomfortable and hard to maintain will help people alter their actions long enough to establish new habits.
Personal preferences can then be self-managed.
Team Management Systems can ease a participant's transition out of comfort zones into becoming a change agent. Ultimately, this impacts the bottom line. Practitioners become less threatening by using Team Management Systems as an OD gateway for operational review and analysis of existing structure. Change becomes more likely as people use Team Management Systems to make conscious choices about behavior necessary to succeed.
