Teams of people occupy today’s workplaces. They can be found in a variety of functions, cross-function teams, project teams, and across divisions of your organization. Whenever you have more than one person, there is an opportunity for mis-communication, mis-alignment, and even dysfunction. In such cases, the mis-aligned team raises the operational costs of getting work done wile adversely impacting customer service and organizational brand. Consider just a few of the typical hard and soft costs of mis-alignment:

• Work takes 20% or more time to complete, burning payroll costs and extending the time to deliver a needed result.
• The likelihood of mistakes and errors increase.
• The team’s collective talent set is underutilized, leading to less creativity and innovation.
• Customer service levels drop, precipitating customer churn and new acquisition costs to replace lost customer revenues.
• Employees who work for mis-aligned teams are 58% more likely to be disengaged, and 36% more likely to leave the employer, which in turn increases hiring and onboarding costs, coupled with lost productivity during the new hire’s onboarding.
