TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Are you a leader seeking to build and develop high-value creating teams as the cornerstone of organisational learning and value-creation with impact beyond your organisation in an increasingly complex world?

The growing complexities of a world disrupted by technology, climate change and pandemics require organisations to shift from just focusing on the individual to the broader ecology. Systemic team coaching co-creates a partnership to add value beyond the individual, creating collective impact within organisations, society and the wider ecological system.

We use Team Coaching with 1) the Birkman Method and 2) Systemic Team Coaching to partner leaders in the development of their teams. This includes:

co-creating a Team Alliance for Psychological Safety and Trust to support Team Purpose, Team Contracting, Team Learning and Value Creation
enhancing communications and collaborative work
leveraging on unique and diverse strengths, interests and needs of team members to enhance performance, engagement and satisfaction
bringing in the stakeholder voices and perspectives which includes the wider ecological system

1. THE BIRKMAN METHOD

We coach leaders in use of Birkman insights to build and develop their teams, leveraging on unique and diverse strengths, interests and needs of their team members to enhance workplace performance, engagement and value creation.

Team Coaching using Birkman insights can benefit newly formed teams, teams seeking to strengthen how they work together, and teams seeking higher levels of team performance.

Sample pages of Reports frequently used in Team Building with Birkman include:

The Birkman Basics Report which profiles the strengths, interests and needs of each individual on the team
The Group Birkman Maps and Graphs which maps the profiles of individuals and the team, highlighting areas of strengths, hidden needs or stress points as well as areas of conflict or tension to focus on to improve team effectiveness.

Team Coaching Sessions and Team Workshops using Birkman customised to the needs of Teams, facilitate better self and other-awareness and the co-creation of a Team Alliance and Team Development process to foster psychological safety and trust. This will enhance team learning and collaboration for team effectiveness, value creation and to optimise team success.

Team Workshops are also customised to meet specific needs of Teams. Examples of Customised Birkman Workshops include Bringing Out the Best in Your Team with Birkman, Managing Stress with Birkman, and Managing Conflicts with Birkman

2. SYSTEMIC TEAM COACHING

The different forms of Team Coaching, like Team Facilitation, Team Building and Systemic Team Coaching can help you and the teams you lead to become high-performing teams that create value beyond their organisations.

Hear Professor Peter Hawkins explain the difference between them and the benefits of Systemic Team Coaching:

The challenges for today's leadership teams include:

Managing the expectations of different stakeholders
Needing to both run the business and to transform the business to be relevant to changing external environment and customer needs
Being members of multiple teams
Working with systemic conflict
The world becoming more complex and interconnected
Hybrid Working and Teams
Major challenges not in the parts but the interconnections of the organisation and its wider system

Systemic Team Coaching enables Teams to be purpose-led, stakeholder-centric, agile and adapt at learning and partnering and attending to all three time horizons of past, present and future to co-create greater value than the sum total of what each member brings.

Studies that support the business case for Team coaching include Price & Toy (2017), McKinsey & Company (2018) indicate that Team Coaching outcomes include increased profitability, financial and economic returns. Systemic Team Coaching equips leaders to meet these challenges in a complex, unpredictable and "messy" world by building high-value creating teams.
