Collaboration at the organization structure level

Let’s say all employees in your organization use Microsoft Teams for communication. To manage these communications effectively, there are different approaches to using Microsoft Teams based on the organization’s structure, such as company-wide teams, departmental teams, and teams for people managers.

Org level team

Creating a company-wide team, or org-wide team, in Microsoft Teams can bring all employees together in a centralized location. By setting up different channels within this team for each department or relevant subject matter, collaboration can be effective and content can be organized.

For example, channels can be created for:

• Production Department
• Marketing Department
• Customer Success
• Sales
• Competitors
• Partners
• Life and fun

You can separate all the content depending on relevant topics and customize your workspace with tabs, apps, tasks, and much more. Additionally, if you have an intranet, you could add different intranet pages to each channel. So that there’s just one stop shop for every employee in your organization.

Department level teams

Creating teams for each department or business unit can be beneficial especially in bigger organizations. Within each team, channels can be created to focus discussions on relevant topics.

For example, the marketing team may have channels for social media, campaigns, and analytics, while the sales team may have channels for leads, prospects, and deals. By creating departmental teams, you can ensure that discussions are relevant to each team and that communication is efficient. For larger organizations, creating teams for each department or business unit can be beneficial. Within each team, channels can be created to focus discussions on relevant topics.

Location-based teams

Regional Teams

If an organization has employees located in different regions or cities, Microsoft Teams allows you to create teams based of the location to manage communication and collaboration more effectively. For instance, teams can be created for each commercial center, such as New York, Austin, LA, and Chicago, with a Reports channel set up for sharing weekly reports.

By adding analytics tools like Power BI as a tab, sales results across different locations can be compared easily!

For organizations with operation teams in different countries, country-based teams can be created to manage supply chain and logistics more efficiently. Teams can be named after each country or warehouse, such as France – Logistics, Italy – Logistics, Spain – Logistics, and Germany – Logistics. This will enable employees to work collaboratively within Microsoft Teams, in conjunction with internal tools.

For store managers responsible for sales in multiple shops across the US, teams can be created for each region, city, or district. For example:

• New York – Commercial Center
• Austin – Commercial Center
• LA – Commercial Center
• Chicago – Commercial Center

Adding a Reports channel to each team for weekly reports sharing, along with analytics tools, Power BI and Microsoft Forms as tabs, allows managers to monitor sales, compare results from different regions, and structure the sales process effectively!

Regardless of the location of your employees, Microsoft Teams can be used to manage communication and collaboration effectively. For global organizations, structured teams named after the country or region can be used to manage distribution and logistics across multiple countries. For example:

• France – Logistics
• Italy – Logistics
• Spain – Logistics
• Germany – Logistics 

Management teams

Every team in an organization should have their own digital space where they can work together and collaborate using Microsoft Teams. It’s like having a special online room just for your team!

This digital workspace is where team members can share information, files, and updates about their work with each other. They can also invite other people from inside and outside the organization to join in on the collaboration.

Here’s a list of some other ways that you can use Microsoft Teams!

Microsoft Teams scenarios and use cases for repeatable processes

Organizations are constantly taking on new challenges, whether it’s projects, campaigns, events, or customers. Microsoft Teams provides the perfect space for teams to collaborate on these missions. With the ability to create teams, add relevant people, tabs, files, and apps, collaborating becomes easy.

Below are some examples of scenarios where teams are used to collaborate across the organization for repeatable processes.

Project Management

As a project manager, miscommunication, missed deadlines, and collaboration issues can be common challenges. Microsoft Teams can help address these issues. By creating a list of relevant channels, you can set up the right communication system and ensure everyone is aligned.

For instance, you can create channels for:

Budget – is a channel, where you can manage the budget for the project. Team members can discuss budget goals, track expenses, and monitor spending to ensure that the project stays within budget.

ROI – a channel for tracking the return on investment (ROI) for the project. Team members can discuss key performance indicators (KPIs), analyze data, and make data-driven decisions to optimize ROI.

Steering committee – in this channel, the project management team can communicate with the project steering committee, which is responsible for providing oversight and guidance for the project. Team members can share updates, discuss any issues or challenges, and make decisions about next steps.

Contractors – this channel is for communicating with contractors and other external stakeholders involved in the project. Team members can share updates, discuss deliverables, and coordinate on schedules to ensure that contractors are meeting project requirements.

With a Planner tab, you can share different tasks with assignments, and use a Business Case channel to analyze your results or set up a brainstorming session in the Team Meeting channel. This way, team members will know exactly where to share documentation or follow daily activities, making collaboration much more efficient.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Microsoft Teams can be highly beneficial for Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) teams because it provides a centralized platform for communication, collaboration, and document management. When two companies come together in a merger or acquisition, there are typically many moving parts, and keeping everyone on the same page can be a challenge.

Also, during the merger and acquisition process, protecting private information is crucial while collaborating with stakeholders. Microsoft Teams offers a solution with its ability to create private teams and channels to share documentation securely. You can even communicate with external partners through video calls, regardless of whether they use Microsoft Teams.

Here are some examples of channels that can be created for mergers and acquisitions:

• Integration Planning – a channel for planning the integration of the two companies, including discussions around organizational structure, technology systems, and cultural alignment.

Overall, by using Microsoft Teams, M&A teams can work more efficiently, reduce the risk of miscommunication, and accelerate the M&A process, ultimately leading to a successful outcome.

RFP Response – Deal Room

When it comes to RFP response, sales reps and other employees from different departments need to collaborate on the proposal implementation for a potential client. MS Teams provides a platform for the RFP team members to collaborate in real-time on the RFP response. The team can create a channel for each section of the RFP and share files, documents, and notes related to the RFP in one place. This helps ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goal.

Microsoft Teams can help by allowing you to:

• Collaborate with other departments to ensure a comprehensive and well-rounded proposal that meets the client’s needs and requirements.
• Utilize the chat feature to communicate in real-time with team members and ensure a quick response to any questions or concerns.
• MS Teams can integrate with other applications, such as SharePoint or OneDrive, making it easier for team members to access relevant information and files. This can help streamline the RFP process and improve efficiency.

Construction Site Management

Construction site operations involve many stakeholders, and keeping everyone informed and on the same page can be a significant challenge. With Microsoft Teams, you can create a structured and organized environment for your team to collaborate and share information. To achieve this, consider building a separate team for each construction site and setting up dedicated channels, such as:

• Energy – this channel can be used to share information about the energy resources needed to power the construction site. For instance, team members could share updates on fuel deliveries or discuss strategies for reducing energy consumption.
