The system is installed and validated through opinion surveys and TBO audits. The improvements and benefits generating from the system will become evident to all the organization's members as the system is installed. There is something in the model for all of the organization's stakeholders. As the model develops and is confirmed, no one will want to regress to the old way of structuring, managing, and operating the company. Because of size, planning, resources, and training considerations, the cost of installing the TBO model will vary considerably from one company to another.
Organizations can install the new system based on their own time schedule, resources, and priority.
An improvement initiative to install the TBO system does provide for early returns on investment which in many cases will make conversion to the new operating system a self-funding proposition. The Armstrong Model team-based structure and operating system was developed by Ron Armstrong over many years based on his education, research, teaching, management and consulting experiences. He has been able to assist small and medium sized companies to successfully install the model. This will take time, but as more and more executives are successful and start enjoying TBO benefits, they will tell others of their success and the process to install TBO will be implemented by many companies. Team-Based Organization is a generic model for high performance that can be installed in any size and kind of organization.
