Team Effectiveness
Elevate Team Intelligence & Productivity
Team challenges often manifest in conflict and a failure to make progress. Teams don’t often understand the root causes of those issues or how to work together to prevent them. We employ our Team Performance System not only to educate teams but to provide the practices needed for improvement. From a single team to organization-wide implementation, we can help co-located or virtual teams:
- 1. build mutual regard
- 2. reduce conflict
- 3. align around priorities and purpose
- 4. make decisions
- 5. clarify multi-function work processes
- 6. improve overall communication
The Three Key Components of The Online Facilitation Skills Team Performance System
Gain Understanding of How and Why Teams Succeed or Falter
The Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model® illustrates the necessary stages involved in both creating and sustaining successful teams. It provides a common organization-wide framework for teaming across functions, cultures, and distances.
Assess Team Strengths and Opportunities for Growth
Organizations use The Online Facilitation Skills Team Performance Survey™ as a tool for assessing a team’s perceptions about itself. The resulting report sparks discussions among team members and helps them plan a path for developing team effectiveness.
Resolve Team Issues With Online Facilitation Skills Best Practices
With the output from the Survey, teams then choose from The Online Facilitation Skills set of best practices. We offer more than 80 practices, keyed to the stages of the Model, to help team leaders develop a “playbook” in response to common team challenges.
How To Get Started
Many of our clients get their first introduction to the Team Performance System by engaging one of our consultants to work with a team or by taking one of our workshops. Choose your own approach.
Team Performance Consulting
Team start-ups and team improvement meetings are excellent opportunities to introduce the Team Performance System. Our consultants work with team leaders, administer the Survey and interpret the results, recommending ways to improve teamwork. We facilitate teams at any scale and level, both in person and virtually:
- 1. Individual teams
- 2. Organization-wide
- 3. Senior leadership
- 4. Cross-boundary work groups
Team Performance Workshop
Attend a public Team Performance workshop or have The Online Facilitation Skills run a workshop within your organization, virtually or in person. You will learn essential team practices and visual tools and be certified to use The Online Facilitation Skills Team Performance Survey.
