The document discusses best practices for competency centers, resource management, and teaming. It recommends building fluid teams with a focus on competence, transparency, and leadership. Competency centers should have an outward focus on solving business problems rather than being a labeling tactic. Resource management is key to workforce planning and requires cross-boundary sharing and coordination. Social networking can extend project teams and improve matching by increasing visibility of skills and peer vouching.

- 17. Study of Wipro Technologies: Performance of Fluid Teams Implications When building teams, consider role experience and team familiarity. Counterbalance plug-and-play resource pools with social constructs. Do not lean too heavily on skills alone or on tenure. "Fluid teams" exist for the duration of a project; members may come and go during the project. Team familiarity and role experience are positively related to team performance. Individual experience does not have a consistent effect on team performance. Adherence and quality are positively affected by role experience and team familiarity. In 2007, researchers from the Harvard Business School conducted a study of fluid teams at Wipro Technologies, a global service provider with more than 50 centers of excellence and more than 50 development centers worldwide.

- 19. Get a Grip: Recommendations Recast your assumptions around people and mobility. Fluid teams, peer networks and reassignment will reign. Resource management is the linchpin of workforce planning. Robust resource management assumes cross-boundary sharing, management maturity and coordination. Competency centers have an outward focus. Successful competency centers forge new frontiers or solve thorny business problems. They are not a labeling tactic. Teams live through competence, confidence and leadership. When outcomes depend on a collective effort, people much vouch for one another personally or by proxy. Transparency is essential for reconfiguration. Open viewing of roles, competence and skills forms the foundation of confidence over distance.
