Team Development Process

Team-specific development processes can be designed for intact, management or project teams, as well as entire departments. The team benefits from the process by capitalizing on the combined power of eye-opening interactive exercises, individual behavioral profiles, team assessment, and action planning. The process actively engages participants and allows the team members to emerge with the synergy and bottom-line effectiveness of OneTeam™.

The process includes:

Team Assessment:
Team members begin by diagnosing the group's strengths and challenges using our web-based Team Effectiveness Inventory (TEI). This survey generates participant buy-in, provides a baseline for the team's development, and drives the content of the team building program. Results are provided in the session and serve as a springboard for discussion and action planning.

Behavioral Profile:
Team members will gain profound insight into why they "Click with Some and Clank with Others." The DiSC^® Behavioral Profile is used to help explain team dynamics and build interpersonal relationships. By understanding personal preferences, the team can create a positive and productive environment.

Interactive Exercises:
Even the most intensive team building interventions need to be enjoyable. The team will have the opportunity to experience their strengths and challenges first-hand as activities will be selected based upon the team survey results. Follow-up discussions will link the exercises to real-life team dynamics.

Skill Development:
The process may include a series of development modules that build the skills of the team members and team leader. This process can be facilitated in a one-on-one or group setting and can focus on topics such as: improving team communication, understanding the stages of a team development, defining team roles, managing conflict, and running effective team meetings.

Follow-up Process:
The team can participate in ongoing mini-sessions to reinforce team behaviors and make team development a process not an event. We re-administer the team survey six to twelve months after the original session. This provides the group with a progress report and the opportunity to continue on the path to working together as OneTeam™.
