Team
Development
Development Matters work with
functional teams who are keen to make changes to improve
team effectiveness, increase team relationships and develop
the skill-base within the team. Using a systematic
approach to team intervention, we carry out the following
steps:
Diagnosis
- Initially meet with the sponsors and stake-holders to determine the outcomes and success criteria for the development
- Meet, get to know the team and observe them in team meetings
- Carry out one-to-one interviews with team members to determine their contribution and the needs of the team
- Analyse the data collected to decide how best to move the team forward, how to feedback to individuals and the team, and to identify team and specific individual coaching needs
- Report back and make recommendations
From the diagnosis, agree the necessary team interventions, which may take the form of:
- Facilitation to further define team goals; roles and/or working practices
- Team building to encourage feedback, enhance relationships and deal with conflict
- Development sessions to increase awareness or skill level in areas such as Change; Communications and Influencing; Business Development; Leadership and Coaching
As part of the process we may work with one, some or all team members in one-to-one coaching sessions where:
- Individual coaching outcomes and measures of success are set
- Individuals receive coaching to help them achieve their set outcomes
- Ongoing confidential feedback is given
