Organizational teams have the ability to produce results far
in excess of traditional workgroups. They are a powerful way
to deliver organizational performance and enhance morale. Occasionally,
amidst the constant pressure to deliver business results, a truly
extraordinary team emerges and sets new standards of success.
In general however, most teams, fall short of their potential.
They tend to plateau and get stuck. For some teams the performance
pressure is urgent – things must change immediately. More
frequently, the team is performing well, but has not reached
their upper performance limit. They are good, but how good can
they be?
We recognize
that one of the primary challenges of teams is to dynamically
balance two interdependent, complementary, and sometimes opposing
forces • Delivering Results (Value)
and Enhancing Capacity •
|

|
Delivering
value
today means producing results that meet the needs
of all key stakeholders. A team that does not deliver
on this today may find itself without a job tomorrow.
Enhancing
capacity
means investing in skills, processes, relationships,
strategies and/or infrastructure to position the
team to deliver greater value tomorrow. To achieve
sustainable success a team must make these investments,
yet taking the time to do this risks compromising
the results the team can deliver today.
This
yin yang like tension creates both challenge and
opportunity.

Our approach in working with teams is both unique and pragmatic.
We assist teams in organizations by acting as performance coaches
to the team. We focus on clarifying and solving a real business
problem, or delivering on a real opportunity. While doing this,
we assess the teams current and future capacity to deliver results.
If they are deficient in any key area (skills, processes, relationships,
strategies and/or infrastructure) we provide them with the coaching
they need to bridge their gap. The end result is a more inspired,
productive team - well positioned to meet today's and tomorrows
challenges.
