Tiger Team Applications and Potential

1. TIGER TEAM BUILDING
Modern Tiger Teams
Modern Tiger Teams offer a number of advantages over traditional problem-solving approaches.
Perhaps the main advantage is exceptional inductive reasoning - the big picture - the ability to
discover general or overarching principles given an assortment of specific multi-disciplinary
instances. Inductive reasoning demands an in-depth grasp of all aspects and nuances of the
problem (provided by the balanced expert group), plus, the ability to integrate this information
into an elegant conceptual whole (provided by advanced teamwork and total problem-solving
heuristics).
Drawing on modern problem-solving heuristics allows the team to attack deep structural or
conceptual problems that may be beyond the capacity of traditional Tiger Teams and even gifted
individuals. Employing advanced teamwork tools improves coordination and the intellectual
horsepower without the external stimulation of a crisis. Modern Tiger Teams can improve
performance and reliability of traditional Tiger Teams as well as provide exceptional problem-
solving performance for low profile everyday problems.
