Team Ambidexterity and its Prerequisites: An Exploratory Study of an IT Service Management Team

Companies’ increasing reliance on information technology (IT) requires IT service management teams to ensure smooth, efficient, and reliable IT service delivery while learning and experimenting with innovative IT at the same time. These disparate demands create tensions for IT service management teams that are challenging to handle. In our study, we present one approach to effectively managing these tensions. By conducting a single-case study of a high-performance IT service management team responsible for 16,000 end-users in Latin America, we identified crucial activities and prerequisites that help deal with these tensions. In particular, we provide an overview of ten multi-level prerequisites and show that dealing with disparate demands on the team level also depends on organizational- and individual-level prerequisites. By answering several calls for studying the management of different demands at the team level, we contribute to the scarce research on team ambidexterity

Review of the evidence for adolescent and young person specific, community-based health services for NHS managers

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the evidence surrounding the design and delivery of adolescent-specific health services for young people aged 14-25. This aims to make recommendations for National Health Service (NHS) senior management teams on the available literature relating to service design for children’s and young people's services within the UK. Design/methodology/approach – This paper presents a mini-review carried out in Spring 2013 using EMBASE, BNI, PSYCHinfo, MEDLINE and Google Scholar to systematically search available published and unpublished research papers. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses and evaluations of service models were included within this review. Adapted “GRADE” criteria were used to appraise the evidence. Findings – Of 70 papers found, 22 met the inclusion criteria. There were five main service designs found within the literature: hospital-based; school-linked or school-based; community based; combination and integrative; and other methods which did not fit into the four other categories. Research limitations/implications – This review is limited to the literature available within the inclusion criteria and search strategy used. It intends to inform management decisions in combination with other parameters and available evidence. Originality/value – There is range of research and evidence syntheses relating to adolescent services, but none of these have been conducted with a focus on the UK NHS and the information needs of managers re-designing services in the current climate within England
