8.3.2 Change Management: High-Performance Teams
Business and industry literature consistently emphasizes the importance of
“people” over “technology.” That is, without a change in management pro-
cess focusing on team formation and dynamics with role clarity that has been
planned and implemented, technology investments (e.g., for a collaboration
center and other technical investments for well control, hardware/software,
etc.) will most likely not achieve the expected value. Fig. 8.12 shows a
model based on Tuckman (2016) and Tuckman and Jensen (1997) on the
effectiveness of team’s progress over time, assuming good leadership and
management support. Teams go through stages of formation, objective set-
ting, establishing relationships and role responsibilities, and ultimately to
high effectiveness as a team, which Tuckman refers to as forming, storming,
norming, performing, and adjourning, respectively. Over time, identifica-
tion as an individual declines in relative importance as individuals identify
more with the team, which results in improved team performance.
Lyden and Zernigue (2014) present an extensive case study from Chev-
ron for building an effective team for a DOF solution project, in part based
on the Tuckman model (Tuckman and Jensen, 1997). They summarized the
