TEAM DEVELOPMENT - Overview
Team Development Programmes
“Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare. “
- Patrick Lencioni
In my previous career as a leader in a global law firm and on the executive team of a global agency, I did teamwork badly and did it well.
I know how exhausting and costly it can be to have a team who are not pulling together. The massive growth in virtual working means we have to be even more intentional about teamwork. I have worked with some of the best thought leaders in the world to design these programmes.
We are not an ‘off the shelf’ consultancy. First, we take time to understand your business and challenges; the design revolves around your needs.
These programmes give you an idea of what is available as the workshop elements of a team transformation initiative. Workshops kickstart momentum and we work with you over time to build and sustain the team's momentum of change.
The Advantage
Process
A nine module training program designed to build high-performing teams. It includes modules on Team Brand and Team Purpose to align identity and goals, meetings to optimize collaboration, and the Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team to enhance trust, accountability, and results.
Leveraging Gallup Strengths, the program amplifies individual and team talents for sustained success.
Five Behaviours of a Cohesive Team
Based on Patrick Lencioni’s #1 bestseller, ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’, this two and a half day programme empowers teams to build trust, embrace productive conflict, commit to team goals, ensure accountability, and focus on results. Through practical strategies and engaging activities, it helps teams strengthen collaboration, overcome challenges, and achieve high performance.
Team Growth Accelerator
The ‘Team Growth Accelerator’ combines teamwork insights with outdoor teambuilding activities to enhance collaboration, trust, and communication. Through hands-on challenges and shared experiences, teams build stronger connections and gain skills to boost performance in a fun, energizing environment.
We ensure lasting impact by combining in-field insights with class based follow up and action plans for day-to-day life.
