"Enhancing Agile Team Dynamics and Decision-Making through Inclusive Communication: An Analysis of Communication Strategies in Diverse Teams, With Emphasis on Strategic HR"

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the role of inclusive communication in enhancing agile team dynamics and decision-making in diverse teams, with a focus on strategic HR. The study adopts a multiple case study research design and analyzes three decision-making models, communication theories, and strategic HR frameworks through the lens of real-world experiences.

The study findings suggest that inclusive communication is crucial for enhancing team performance in agile environments. The Three-Stage Decision-Making Model, the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and the Systematic Support Vector Model were found to enhance decision-making in diverse teams. Clear and concise messaging, active listening, and open dialogue were found to be effective communication strategies to promote inclusivity.

The study also identifies the role of strategic HR in promoting inclusive communication, including creating a culture of inclusivity, providing training and development opportunities, and establishing clear policies and guidelines. The case studies reveal that strategic HR has been instrumental in creating a culture of diversity and inclusivity, which has fostered better team dynamics, decision-making, and outcomes. This study provides significant contributions to our understanding of the importance of inclusive communication and strategic HR in enhancing agile team dynamics and decision-making processes in diverse teams. The findings provide insights for practitioners to implement effective communication and strategic HR practices in agile environments.
