One-Piece Flow Cell Teams

(One-Piece Flow) Cell Teams is a workshop to create the process and the plan for Cell Teams to develop along 15 dimensions to achieve true self-managing capabilities in their Cell. This workshop enables Cell Teams to figure out where they are on a continuum from low/no empowerment to true self-management.

There are 5 major phases of Self-Managing Team Development:

Phase 0 – Pre-team, traditional organization, low-zero empowerment, 1-person 1-job

Phase 2 – Leader-Centered Team

Phase 3 – Shared Leadership Team

Phase 4 – Self Directed Cell Team

Phase 5 – Small Business Team
