1-1 Overview: All organization see the value in teams. The vast majority of work done in organizations is performed by teams. It's not that we don't recognize their value. Rather perhaps it is the nagging frustration that they don't deliver what we believe they could. For most of our organizations there is much more that teams could deliver. And usually it isn't a lack of knowledge that prevent teams from being more effective: it's that we don't put into practice much of what we already know. Teams are more than groups of people working together. They don't just happen, they need to be built. And even when they are built, they will only be effective with real teamwork. Working alone is increasingly uncommon in today's business environment. "many tasks that people feel confident about if they were to tackle them single handed become more complex when handled by a team of people. Managing groups and teams has been a vexed question for some time in management thinking" Greener( 2010 ). There are a number of accepted theories but there is still no single accepted rout by which to maximize team contribution to assist the corporate effort. Tasks which appear simple to one person will often seem considerably more complicated to others; hence the need to ensure that teams work together as effectively as possible. 1-2 Problem: The title of this study report "Building collaboration cross-functional new product team.
