We have had between 20 and 25 people working on the project from 10 per cent to 100 per cent of their time since April. Telenor Media puts together projects through a searchable database. Employees with key competence for a project are sought after and pulled into a project to the extent that they are needed. Conversations with numerous Telenor Media employees made it clear that project involvement is prized by the staff. One crucial aspect of a teamwork approach is ensuring that all of the different units communicate well.
Tight organisation is the basis for good communication.
Each of these group leaders, in turn, has a small team working under him or her. Communication is further enhanced by an open floor plan, where technicians, managers and salesmen are grouped together. In addition, up to six members of the team that are working primarily on this project sit in an assigned project room during their involvement. As of late November, Andresen and Telenor Media's online white pages project was on schedule. Next year, Andresen and his team-mates will have moved on to new projects.
