Successful teams

Successful teams

Practical programmes designed to build successful teams whether they are new, existing or restructured teams, departments or whole organisations. This teamwork training covers a range of different team types and is delivered inhouse, for selected teams, departments or whole organisations. Programmes are split into a number of modules, covering a range of key areas as required for the team:

Individual and team questionnaires
Team communications
Team exercises
Individual actions and team collaboration

These programmes are run inhouse, designed around the business needs of the organisation and its team/s. Programmes can be designed for any size of team, including virtual teams with infrequent face-to-face contact.

Previous participants on similar programmes have commented:

"I found Sue got under the skin of what I was trying to achieve with the team and helped us gain clarity on where we needed to focus our actions."

"The team profile was quite enlightening. It was common sense really, but provided a framework which helped us understand some of our most common issues"

"The final exercise was great fun - and we still learnt something from it."

Training for team leaders

Training for team leaders falls into two areas:

Workshops for team leaders within the organisation
Coaching for individual team leaders

By the nature of 1 to 1 coaching, the programmes are always designed with an individual and to meet their needs. If you are an SME business, with 5-249 staff, you could be eligible for government funding under the Train to Gain leadership and management programme, which could cover a number of skill areas for leaders and managers within the organisation.

Overview of workshops

A typical workshop is likely to last a full day and consist of:

In-depth introduction to the questionnaire
Individual reports from the questionnaire
Team discussion on what this means for the team - clusters of types; absence of types; impact on the team and the way they work
Team activities - business simulation, closely matching the work environment
Discussion on outputs of activities - what does this mean when working together? what actions do individuals and team leaders need to take?
Agreement on next steps
Review of workshop - individual learning and actions; group actions; review process
Teambuilding activities
Prior to the workshop, participants would have been asked to complete an online questionnaire, relevant to the aims of the workshop.
