Problem solving teams- Many organizations tend to use different types of problem solving to better improve their productivity and success. In this case we are talking about employee involvement teams where the members will meet up regularly to examine the problems that are occurring in the workplace and help solve that problem. Example In the NBA you have a large organization consisting of 30 teams. Every single one of those teams has problems that they have to solve. Most teams can relate to this way of fixing the problem, they tend to leave out the executives from time to time so that the players themselves can work out their problems on the court. When all the players understand and accept those roles, the team will improve their performance and trust with one another. You have teams like Atlanta, Memphis, Portland, and Chicago where they will sometimes have a team only meeting to discuss the problems that they having and why they are losing. Those 4 teams have showed success recently after everyone understood their roles and what they have to do in order to succeed.
