Case Study: Team Mapping Summary

The Context

Organization Profile

  • Interior design & production service company with ±40 employees.
  • Serving residential, commercial, and hospitality projects.
  • This year, management wants the team to be more independent, efficient across divisions, and ready to handle larger-scale projects.

Owner's Expectations

  • The team moves fast and is less dependent on the owner.
  • Cross-division coordination is more streamlined, with no waiting around.
  • Projects can be executed without constant supervision.

Current Reality (Pre-Mapping Observations)

  • The team looks busy, but often needs correction mid-way.
  • There is plenty of initiative, but cross-division coordination is not yet synchronized.
  • SOPs exist, but implementation is inconsistent/patchy.
  • The owner still has to intervene in project details.
Disclaimer
  • This report is not intended to judge who is good or bad, but to help the company realign expectations between teams, select who needs facilitation to step up, and ensure targets are not just executed but properly monitored.
  • If these findings are not acted upon, the gap between the Talent/HR and the company’s big goals will widen, and established strategies may not yield the expected results.

Mapping Analysis Report

Key Findings from Cavlent Mapping

Team is Heavy on Execution, Light on Control

  • The majority of the team (37.84%) shows a strong tendency toward execution and operational functions. Conversely, only 13.51% possess a strong tendency for control and monitoring functions.
  • Indication: The team is busy moving, but strategic direction and oversight may be loose, leading to frequent revisions mid-process.

Team is More Motivated by a Social Impact Approach

  • The majority of the team is more motivated when they feel their work has a social impact (35.14%) compared to a transactional approach focused on profit & benefits (10.81%).
  • Indication: If communication relies solely on numbers and targets, the team may feel unresponsive. Conversely, when they understand that their design makes a client happy or proud, or has a social impact, they feel much more useful and find meaning in their work.

Action Plan Examples for Consideration

Appoint an informal "Guardian of Direction"

Identify 1-2 individuals strong in driving and controlling roles to help maintain workflow and consistency in the team's direction

Infuse meaning into every target communication

Since the team is socially motivated, communicate targets within the context of impact. For example: "This design helps a family have a comfortable living space" rather than just "the client wants this done this week.

Facilitate light reflective sessions with the team

Ask simple questions like: "What work moment made you proudest this month?" Their answers can uncover insights, build connection, and activate bottom-up initiative.

Use a dashboard/progress display that is easily monitored together

It doesn't have to be digital; a simple format (physical or file) linking daily tasks to the big picture works well. This helps the team feel connected to organizational progress without needing constant supervision.

If Cavlent Mapping results are used for HR gap identification & strategy evaluation:

It serves as a foundation for restructuring roles—not based on job titles, but on actual work patterns—ensuring HR relevance to the organization's goals and strategic direction.

It helps identify cultural bottlenecks that are invisible in the formal structure.

It reveals dominant team motivations and how the majority receives information, aiding in internal communication strategies, training, and learning development.

It avoids approaches that are disconnected from the team culture.
