With the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic, the idea of how we work has been comprehensively redefined. Everything about the work experience has changed greatly. The processes of redefining the idea of the work environment are affecting all aspects and activities. The traditional hierarchical structures that used to be considered supportive have been reoriented for the modern era, replaced by team networks. The team network concept has spread to companies of all industries and sizes around the world. Like any theory, the team network concept is based on key principles. What are these principles? Among the key ones, let's note such as:
1. Experienced leaders and mission are a guarantee of success. Concentrate people and team leaders on customers, products, the market, and common goals and objectives.
2. Key performance indicators are set by the team. Teams should be motivated to set their own KPIs and other goals and objectives.
3. Unification of teams by means of information exchange. Departmental units should be gradually replaced by a single information center, as this ensures consistency of goals, information, and data.
4. Inter-team, interdepartmental learning needs to be supported, encouraged, and promoted. Change roles and functions from time to time: for example, marketers should not only learn in the marketing department, this applies to all roles, departments and functions, which can be achieved by breaking down the walls between departments and divisions.
Changing and reconfiguring the organizational structure is certainly not an easy task, but this does not mean that it is impossible. First of all, it is necessary to focus on the principles outlined above. It is necessary to move away from universal managers and concentrate on expert managers, i.e. specialist managers, and concentrate also on information centers, and then pay attention to middle managers. How? It is necessary to look at their functions, whether you can find reasons and arguments to demonstrate their effectiveness, or you can give up certain roles, and then empower your teams through the implementation of ideas and actions. You need to cultivate a team culture that encourages and rewards the team rather than the individual, when acceptable, in order to eliminate and discourage disagreements within the group, and empower your teams.

The concept of the team network has exploded with the arrival of the new millennium thanks to digital technology and has become even more relevant in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. You can be assured of the success of your teams if you remove barriers to the free flow of information and the work of individuals, especially if this is encouraged and cultivated in a free working environment.
