BUSINESS MODELS FOR TEAMS

BUSINESS MODELS FOR TEAMS will do for teamwork what the cult classic Business Model Generation did for strategy.

The key to getting the most out of your team is making sure everyone understands how the money really gets made. Tim Clark and Bruce Hazen show how leaders of any group, regardless of size, can help their people work independently and passionately toward shared goals without turnover, training, or culture-building exercises. Business Models for Teams shows you how to get everyone rowing in the right direction using “third object” tools that make this change powerful and enjoyable.

In 2010, Tim Clark helped create Business Model Generation, a groundbreaking global bestseller on how enterprises deliver value customers. In 2012, Clark and partner Bruce Hazen followed up with Business Model You, pioneering the personal business model technique for individuals. In their new book BUSINESS MODELS FOR TEAMS, Clark and Hazen turn this sights on teams, showing managers how much better their enterprises function when individuals and teams know their role in creating value for customers.

Even great leaders face management problems every day. Do we have the right people in the right seats? How do they know what is a priority? Are we making it clear to everyone—across meetings, reports, and projects--how the enterprise creates value, and how each team member fits in?
Through case studies, brief exercises and easy-to-follow visuals, Clark and Hazen show how leaders of any group, regardless of size, can help people work independently and passionately toward shared goals without excessive turnover, training, or culture building exercises.
While any leader will benefit from BUSINESS MODELS FOR TEAMS, it is the ideal book for those confronting big market changes or overseeing new groups of colleagues.
