Abstract

This article aims to present how manage the team using Individualised Management to support efficient achievement of specific business objectives. An individualised approach to employees and the whole concept of Individualised Management works for individual employees, hence the approach has been expanded to incorporate entire teams. An IT tool i.e., an application that uses AI has been developed to enable individualised management and support managers in analysing the internal needs of employees and teams, and in using this knowledge to effectively manage their teams. Knowledge from various fields was used to develop the tool: Artificial Intelligence (AI) as well as psychology of management and needs.

The tool presented here provides managers with recommendations on how to manage teams, thus supporting organisations in fast and effective achievement of business objectives through an individualised approach and utilising state-of-the-art information technology. The IT solution operates on the basis of proprietary algorithms and models developed during research.
