Title

Using the intranet to build teamwork

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss using the intranet to build teamwork.

Design/methodology/approach: The author provides a useful viewpoint on using the intranet to build teamwork.

Findings: Many organizations are attempting to use teams and allowing these employees to engage in self-directed work. To be successful these teams must work in an integrated, collaborative fashion toward an organizational goal or vision. One of the keys to this success is having rapid, meaningful feedback about performance for all team members. It is argued that the intranet combined with current visualization software can provide not only such feedback but also help the team stay focused and become more integrated.

Originality/value: Provides a useful discussion on using the intranet to build teamwork.
