Collective Sequential Transfer

• One ongoing team specialized in specific task(s) moves to other locations and performs the same task(s).

• There happens knowledge transfer from one site to another by the same team.

• The focus is on collaboration and is on collective knowledge.

Issues

• How does one member's task affect others in the team?

• How does one member's way of performing a task contribute to the performance of other team members?

• Which factors affect a member's performance?

• How does one member's task impact the overall performance of the team?

In each team setting, there exists a protocol which specifies how a team should function (known as Transfer Protocol).

Features of collective sequential transfer:

• Team meetings (brief) are regularly held.

• Each participant is treated equally in meetings.

• The matter discussed in the meetings is kept within the team.

• It always focuses on the project, not on the individuals.
