how we approach our work
Regardless whether you feel that your team could perform better, your organization is going through a change, or you could benefit from an independent facilitator to ‘get things moving’, we follow the same approach underpinned by our values.
-
we SHOW CURIOSITY TO DEEPEN AWARENESS & UNDERSTANDING
Together, we explore the big picture to develop a full system or organization wide understanding of your opportunity. We do this through interviews, observations and where appropriate use academically proven tools.
-
we HARNESS YOUR WISDOM THROUGH CO-CREATION
More often we look to create a ‘best of both’. We value the knowledge, experiences and wisdom within a team or organization and co-create a way forward that ensures ownership and commitment. Our solutions are fit for purpose, customised and practical with an implementation plan
-
we are COMMITTED TO ACTION & DELIVERY
Insight & planning only delivers value when put into action. Maintaining momentum and focus, we will be with you throughout any delivery or implementation.
-
we believe EVERY ENGAGEMENT PROVIDES LEARNING
High performing teams organisations are continually reflecting & learning. Before jumping onto your next project, we take time to ensure that learnings are harvested & shared with others who can benefit for your experience
Our use of tools
You and your team are placing an enormous amount of trust in us. It is only natural that when required, we use tools and assessments that are backed by academic research and review. We work with a number of experts in the field to ensure you have access to the right tools for your specific needs. We believe in being selective and choosing the best that are available. An example of tools and assessments include:
Team Diagnostic Survey is a research based assessment that can be used for all teams. Its purpose is to measure the handful of team features that are most consequential for team performance. This includes the 6 conditions that account for up to 80% of team effectiveness. The TDS is the world’s premier team effectiveness instrument developed by renowned Harvard scholar-practitioners Drs. Richard Hackman and Ruth Wageman
The Team Dynamics Profile (TDP), by Assessing in Action, identifies the roles that people play, the types of language that people use, and the organising mindset that people adopt in low stakes communication, both real-time and virtual. Assessing in Action has a range of other tools that support leadership and organisation development
