4.1.1.10. Process - Co-ordination teams
Once the specific activities are selected (step 8), these need to be further detailed to become meaningful for implementation. This would normally take place in a "Activity Coordination Teams" (ACT) consisting of middle managers taking personal responsibility for development of one or two elements.
As many levels in the organization as practical should be included to assist the in the development of the relevant part of the management system. This will "guarantee" ownership and involvement throughout the organization and facilitate implementation at a later stage. In fact the detailing of those activities can be accomplished through a "cascading team" set-up, including worker participation where relevant, under the coordination of, and directed by, the OIT (Organization Improvement Team)
Purpose of this step is to establish coordination for development of Manager system elements as well as for the implementation thereof. Preferably this would include teams rather than individuals.
