Effective innovation teams care deeply about their common ground. The lack of common ground results in unproductive meetings, or redundant conversations that don't move the needle on new business ideas. Aligned teams can execute joint activities up to 12x faster than misaligned teams.
The Team Alignment Map (TAM) is a simple, visual tool to boost the creation and maintenance of relevant common ground in projects. At Strategyzer, we use it to kick-off all our internal and client projects with enterprise innovation teams. It helps cross-functional teams working collaboratively to design, test, modify, and abandon options until they get it right. It helps you ensure team alignment and sound execution when you are testing and implementing your new business opportunities out in the field.
