The High Performance Team Workshop

                      "Wearing the same shirt doesn't make you a team" 

 

Most employees today are typically members of three to five teams. Teams and work groups can be highly effective for managing complex tasks and processes and solving problems. However, many teams are not as effective as they could be.

Individual contributors may not know how to work collaboratively in a group or how to align their actions to the defined purpose of the group and organisation. 

The High - Performance Team Workshop provides a series of tools and techniques that help individuals work together to develop a team identity. It helps the group move from a collection of individuals to a high-performing team. The hands-on workshop format allows participants to address real organisational issues while developing their skills

Programme Overview

The emphasis of the High-Performance Team Workshop is on group fundamentals. 

Participants experience the three dimensions of team alignment: collaboration, communication, and commitment. They explore how a team operates when all members work together to resolve the problem facing them and address factors that affect their team communication. 

The optional Team Performance Profile measurement instrument provides feedback to the team on six characteristics important to successful team interactions. It focuses on factors controlled by the whole team and the impact on team performance.

The High-Performance Team Workshop is made up of the following six units:
