Organizations must be focused on their mission. But lots of team work and shorter- term projects often distract. Recently, the use of virtual teams makes for gaps in staying focused. Inter team challenges, and a sense of conflict, are growing. Keep in mind that interteam challenges are those that occur between different teams, not within the same team. For example, the accounting team wants to acquire a certain financial accounting system but the technology team says they can't support it. Or the sales team wants to customize an order for a customer but the systems team says the customization can't be done for the price the sales team offered. What's needed when there are multiple virtual teams? Think about an inter team challenge or conflict that you have either been part of or have observed in your organization. Describe what the issues were. What happened after conflict between teams was discovered? Did HR have a role in policy or other intervention? Explain. Organizations must be focused on their mission.
