Team design for organizational changes at a pedagogical university in the conditions of internal corporate training

Introduction. In the context of ongoing changes, the creation of effective teams is a key factor for the success of organizations of any profile. This article presents a technology for designing change teams and examines the specifics of applying coaching mentorship on the example of a pedagogical university. The purpose of the article is determined by the strategic directions of university development. The main idea is that coaching mentorship technology is an effective and scientifically grounded tool for designing and developing teams of organizational changes in a pedagogical university operating under conditions of continuous advanced education and strategic transformation (within the framework of programs like «Priority–2030»). We have identified key steps that help form a successful team. The paper discusses important reasons for designing organizational change teams, as well as factors that contribute to the creation of effective teams in the context of internal corporate training. Materials and methods. The degree of novelty of the research results is determined by tools aimed at developing a change team and methods for assessing its effectiveness. The technology for designing a change team is based on coaching mentorship methods as a management tool for transformation, capable of effectively responding to contemporary challenges. Results. The research set out to identify and experimentally verify the extent to which conducting practice-oriented intensive cycles influences the development of the team's reflexivity and balance. The developed technology for team design can be used in creating new models for managing human resource development. Discussion and conclusions. During the analysis of the problem field of transformational changes, the team of Minin University as a participant in the «Priority–2030» project found that approaches to designing a new system of higher education levels are rather formal, and a sufficiently wide range of training areas remains within the traditional («Bologna») form of student education.
