WORK TEAM SKILLS

American business and industry has discovered a new resource to be more competitive in today's business environment: people. More and more we are tapping the creative energies and thinking of our employees. No longer is it wise for managers to exert undue control in their management style, it is now mandatory to capitalize on the "thinking power" of employees in addition to their "doing power".

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT, INC. has over twelve years of experience in working with companies as they attempt to capitalize on their human resources by structuring their organizations to grant some degree of autonomy to teams of employees in the work place. Our firm believes that employees are basically good, contributing people. Employees are more highly educated than ever before and they wish to exert more control over their own activities both inside and outside the work place. We can work with you to determine the approach you want to take in involving your employees as you strive for a higher-quality more productive organization.

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT, INC. will work with your internal people to initiate a design, assist in the implementation planning, provide necessary training and continuously monitor the impact of this organizational intervention.

The reaction of most companies that implement "self-managed" or "autonomous" work teams is overwhelmingly positive. Quality and productivity gains coming from the teams not only provide needed results to management, they create within the employee population a sense of accomplishment and realization that they truly can make a difference.

Let ADVANCED MANAGEMENT, INC. assist you in transitioning your organization toward a more participative work environment.
