How do you create teams that are cross-functional ?<\/p>\n
How often are we sitting with key resources who are the only one\u2019s who know how to do something and don\u2019t have the time to spend training up others ?<\/p>\n
This is where the reverse shadow come into play.<\/p>\n
Normally what we would do is assign someone to shadow the expert, only have you ever really learnt anything by observing ? Did you learn to ride a bicycle by observing or by riding ?<\/p>\n
The reverse shadow places the person \u2018learning\u2019 at the front with the expert being the shadow. The team accepts that it will initially take a little longer for things to get done but in the long run, having someone else able to do the work will improve throughput.<\/p>\n
Instead of the expert being assigned as the lead and going to the meetings and being \u2018the face\u2019, the learner is WITH THE SUPPORT of the expert.<\/p>\n
This reverse shadow allows the learner to learn by getting his or her hands dirty.<\/p>\n
Try it out! Create a reverse shadow for one of your more constrained resources. What would it look like ? How would the expert support the learner ?<\/p>\n
