In today’s demanding marketplace, organizations are seeking out practical, proven methods to harness the undeniable power of highly effective teamwork.
We’ve spent many years studying as well as working closely with teams as they grapple with the very real business challenges and human obstacles that can frequently derail teamwork. That experience has shaped a series of KRG team development processes, all of which are focused on maximizing the significant advantages of successful teamwork. Whether it’s jumpstarting a new team, refocusing a team mired in conflict, or building alignment with diverse membership, KRG’s team building programs provide the tools required for teams to accelerate the growth curve and reach fully functional, high-performance states.
Our process often includes:
- Team Assessment – We begin by diagnosing the group’s strengths and challenges using one of our team diagnostic tools. The diagnostic results provide us with a baseline for the team’s development, drives the content of the team-building program, and serves as a springboard for discussion and action planning.
- Behavioral Profile – Using one of several personality profiling tools such as Myers-Briggs or Social Styles, team members gain invaluable insight into why some relationships work and others don’t. The profile is used to help explain team dynamics and build interpersonal relationships.
- Team Meetings (Workshops) – Based upon the diagnostic results, we create meeting agendas that focus on your team’s stage of development and design conversations, experiences, skills building, and planning to reach the desired performance edge.
- Follow-up Process - KRG re-administers the initial diagnostic tool six to nine months out to assess progress, celebrate achievements and set next-step plans for the future.
Expected outcomes:
- Clarification of team vision and purpose
- Definition of team goals and metrics
- Identification of key constituents and the clarification of expectations
- Definition of team roles and responsibilities
- Establishment of work processes and interpersonal ground rules
- Creation of feedback systems that monitor team success
- Team synergy and trust
