January 5, 2022

Discover valuable insights on multi-team systems and how to leverage its benefits

During the academic year 2021 a team from LSE carried out research into multi-team systems (MTS), defined as collections of teams that work toward a common goal.

Their objective was to explore:

  • how prevalent MTS are in organisations today,
  • what advantages they bring and
  • what challenges are raised by the transition to MTS from a more traditional hierarchical/silo structure.
  • Finally, the researchers offered some insights into the ways that leaders can facilitate the transition and enable organisations to leverage the benefits of MTS for employees’ performance, wellbeing and organisation outcomes.
