Team-based entrepreneurship Jose Lerosa Siqueira (jals@usp.br) Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil Centro Minerva de Empreendedorismo
A definition • What is TBE? • In a learning environment: • People with different roles • People with different complementary skills • Integration of people • Centralized decisions • Moving leadership • Changing roles over time • Formal hierarchy • Observers or executives (no middle of the way) • Peer reviews
Three cycling phases in each generation: • planning: who is responsible for which deliverables and with which constraints for time and other resources • execution: going for it • auditing: what happened.
TBE • Effective participation • Training program CMM level 2 (disciplined process, but not a repeatable process) • Double focus, with priority depending on results • On the team – were the deliverables achieved? • On the individual – was his / her job done?
Pitfalls to avoid • Bureaucracy – anyone may delegate authority anytime, provided a simple document is written and kept by both parties.
Role-Playing Game (RPG) • Characters with • Weapons • Experiences • Vulnerabilities & weaknesses • Specific personal goals and group goals
Main questions on TBE • Which roles • How to manage it • How to create a self-sustaining structure
KPAs – key process areas • strategic planning • execution • evaluation
KPRs – key process roles • Strategic planning • the leader • the staff member • the ant
KPRs – key process roles • Execution • the administrator • the task leader • the negotiator • the ant
KPRs – key process roles • Evaluation • the judge • the auditor
The need to warrant a self-evolving system • The team culture • Common goals • Minimal organization • Defined leader • The need to survive
What to do with failures • Make her digest her failures • Many try; few succeed
Other characteristics • skills tend to disappear if not trained • failures tend to increase if not worked upon • a system in MS Access to control the rules, the enterprisers and the ventures is available.
