Accelerating Competitive Effectiveness (ACE)
Team Effectiveness
by Rita McGrath
Never underestimate the power of people! Harnessing Team Effectiveness is the difference between "good" and "awesome" performance. Create trust and safety by bringing unspoken issues to the surface. This instrument helps you embrace the collective skills, knowledge, and abilities of the members of the team.
Accelerating Competitive Effectiveness is one of the first research-based tools that identify the progress of new capability creation in established organizations
As competitive advantages become shorter and harder to defend, it has never been more important
that organizations create new advantages that can replace those that have eroded. The difficulty is
that metrics for the development of new have until now been idiosyncratic, hard to generalize and nearly
impossible to manage consistently.
With the ACE diagnostics, executives can rapidly assess where a team is in the creation of valuable new
capabilities, identify obstacles and blockages and make timely interventions to accelerate their progress,
reduce risks and increase the potential returns for investments in growth projects.
