40 Pirmins Podcast Thought #40 A team needs time to build and grow

#40 A team needs time to build and grow If you have a larger team on the implementation, internals and externals, you can‘t create a team by defining it. It needs time to connect, build and grow. If these people never worked to-gether „just a fancy kick-off“ or one „team building event“ is not enough. They need time to connect. Let them connect in common lunch breaks, dinners. Support them in having virtual coffees if they are spread around the globe. Make sure that all of them are included in the communications. Especially when having virtualized teams, formal communication becomes crit-ical. Celebrate the small successes „every day“  to keep them engaged.

39 Pirmins Podcast Thought #39 Don’t start when you do not have the resources

# 39 Don’t start when you do not have the resources Make sure that on the project start you have the needed per-sons for the project. They need to be on the one hand available but also be trained on your business. Finding the people during the project will make it critical to be „on time“. Also make sure that it is the right person.  Early backfilling for people who will „soon move to the project“ will hurt, but  only this way you can assure, that the backfill is well trained into the operative supports role and the business continues to go smooth.

38 Pirmins Podcast Thought #38 Empower the team

#38 Empower the team A crucial part of the project is decision taking and driving the directions. Empower the team and the team members to drive decision and create new processes. Create a culture of change.  For this reason, it is so important to have the “right” the team, those who “know the processes” or those who know where they want to go in the future. If you only have “those who know the process”, then your new solution will be pretty much same in blue. If, on the other hand, you only have those who know where they want to be, there is a risk of losing the busi-ness itself.  It’s like always a fully unscripted recording !  Happy to get your feedbacks!  If you liked .. spread the news !

37 Pirmins Podcast Thought #37 Use the best on job

#37 Use the best on job  When it comes to the creation of the team, we need people who can do the job. Make sure that you use the best for this job from your organization! This may hurt, but only if you select the best persons you can get the best results. One mistake often done is, that the „Best in Job”, maybe the purchasing team lead, is so highly involved in the daily business, that he sends his deputy or even worse the „newbie“ in the department as the newbie does not yet support the operational business to a critical level. This will fail for 2 reasons, on the one hand as the team lead will always need to review the results and second the „newbie“ / „deputy“ may not know all processes by heart.

36 Pirmins Podcast Thought #36 Free the resources

#36Free the resources  Make sure you can free the needed internal resources. Having critical key roles covered with people who are attributed “50% of their time” for the ERP will not work. They need to be fully attributed and committed to this critical task. Prepare the back-fill of these early enough, to make sure that the replacement person is trained well enough to support daily business. Some persons may only need to contribute to individual tasks with a small amount of time, but these persons also need to be availa-ble when they are needed. Sooner or later, you will struggle with the availability of resources either for the project or the operative business, which generates your money and therefore, is often privileged. Make sure you have the answer on this. It’s like always a fully unscripted recording !  Happy to get your feedbacks!  If you liked .. spread the news !
