Teams Development
Employees who collaborate in teams stick at their tasks for 64% longer than employees working on their own and report higher engagement levels, lower fatigue and higher success rates. ~Forbes.com
We develop operating models and strategies to build team effectiveness and cross-team collaboration, through targeted workshops, assessments and team coaching to build capability (mindsets, behaviours, skills) to drive real business results
- Our team development journeys and workshops focus on trust building and purpose-driven initiatives to challenge, motivate and inspire change, based a strong foundation of personal insight and mastery
- Based on the work of Patrick Lencioni, our team function assessment provides leaders and teams with practical insights to help address their most critical challenges and opportunities and begin to make tangible changes to the way they work and engage to enhance team effectiveness
- Team coaching focuses on team engagement, accountability, trust, prioritisation and organisational culture integration and collaboration to align the team and achieve their goals
Teams Development
THE IMPORTANCE
Research shows that diverse, effective teams far out-perform at innovating and solving problems than individuals. The strongest factors in determining a multi-disciplinary team’s performance are Heterogeneity (diversity) and Cohesiveness (alignment & commitment)
Heterogeneity increases the potential for conflict and time required for reaching agreement
Cohesiveness increases trust and speed to resolve differences and make decisions
THE CHALLENGE
Can you confidently answer any of the following?
- How do we assess our current team against the characteristics of a high performance team?
- What are the crucial conversations we need to have as a team?
- What are the crucial conversations we need to have as individuals?
- How do we build a high-performance team?
- How do we get support and measure our progress?
- How do we drive commitment and accountability?
Approach and tools
Our team development approach begins with objective diagnostics (interviews and team survey questionnaires) to identify the key issues and develop a recommended team alignment approach and process to address them over time. This is followed by a combination of facilitated one-on-one discussions, personality preference assessments, team discussions, process improvements (communication, meetings info sharing etc) and skills development or coaching where required.
A high-performance team assessment helps the team identify the team strengths and focus areas required to optimise trust, honest conversations, commitment, accountability and results. A series of individual trust building and team conversations on ways of working help to build these during the session and give tools to continue on a team development journey.
