    Evolving Organizations to Autonomous Teams
    James R. Dillon (dil · 10/30/96 at 7:27 PM ET

    I am a training manager and as such have the charter to evolve our organization into "teams" where the teams are autonomous including PA reviews on each other, setting daily production schedules (it is a production/assembly line operation), determining who needs training and what type they need and scheduling accordingly (I need to develop and design...or have designed, the specific training),etc...essentially running their own shop with the managers/supervisors/coaches playing the role of resource provider, road block slayer, etc.

    Is there any research/benchmark data on how to best approach this? I am interested in the psycho/social aspects of how the people are going to react to the changes, how best to provide change management and an atmosphere of caring while all this is going on, etc. I am concerned that traditional approaches fail miserably due to lack of understanding of the human issues and variables and consequently most approaches/plans fail to get real buy in and acceptance.

    I appreciate you help, time and advice.
