Abstract: Teams can adapt with time to prepare an action, they can adapt by improvising a solution, but they can also improvise for purposive reasons. The literature has generally neglected the differences between these three processes. Building on team adaptation and team improvisation literatures, we develop a time-informed conceptual model that helps to understand how teams can effectively engage in different processes that require team or task adjustments. By acknowledging the defining nature of time in team processes, and exploring the temporal stream of team improvisation and team adaptation, we expand both literatures, increasing construct clarity and extending their nomological network.
