Managing organizational constraints in innovation teams: a qualitative study across four health systems.
This study examined how interdisciplinary teams are affected by and manage external constraints over the lifecycle of their innovation project. The authors used a multimethod qualitative approach consisting of over 3 years of participant observation data to analyze how four interdisciplinary teams across different health system experienced and managed constraints as they pursued process innovations. Their findings point to several practical implications concerning innovation processes in healthcare: 1) how conditions in the organizational context, or constraints, can impede team progress at different stages of innovation; and 2) the collective efforts, or tactics, teams use to manage or work around those constraints to further progress on their innovations.
