Document Summary
Department teams teams that consist of employees who have similar or complementary skills and are located in the same unit of a functional structure; usually minimal task interdependence because each person works with employees in other departments. Production/service/ leadership teams typically multiskilled (employees have diverse competencies), team members collectively produce a common product/ service or make ongoing decisions. Task force (project) teams usually multiskilled, temporary teams who assignment is to solve a problem, realize an opportunity, or design a product or service. Action teams similar to task forces, these highly skilled teams are formed for a sore duration and given considerable autonomy to resolve an urgent problem or opportunity, such as solving an emergency or crisis. Advisory teams teams that provide recommendations to decision makers; include committees, advisory councils, work councils, and review panels; may be temporary, but often permanent, some with frequent rotation of members.
