Team & Leadership Workshops

Team Foundation Workshop

Start up or restructured teams perform quickly if the operating
framework is clear. Best defined by involving the team in producing their own “Team Charter”, defining the team's mission, vision, values, role definition and responsibilities, decision making processes, meeting frequency and agenda, communication processes etc everything the team needs to operate effectively!

Team Skills Development

Teams need a process to help them solve problems, generate new ideas and make wise business decisions. This highly interactive workshop incorporates individual Team Management Systems (TMS) personality and team profiles and that assists members to be aware of their own working style and know how to “pace” their communication to complement other's strengths and weaknesses.

Team Project Management - Countdown

Countdown is an exciting project simulation working with a job relevant action model that visually captures elements of project success using:

• Work Breakdown Structures
• Gantt Charts
• A responsibility matrix
• Risk profiles
• Resource allocation

Participants estimate potential delays and costs, evaluating critical path lines, assess risk, manage scope creep and make decisions within a Trade off Triangle. This program will assist your team by

• Orienting new members of a project team
• Giving new project managers a challenging team experience
• Kicking of new projects with enthusiasm
• Re- energising and re focussing on projects already underway

Team Planning Workshop

Clear strategies, targets and planning are critical for successful outcomes. Involving your team in first identifying potential barriers to success and then generating strategies to overcome these is a great way to gain “buy in” and commitment to succeed.

Team Performance Review

Every team can improve results by regularly reviewing how it performs. Applying the Team Management Systems (TMS) to each member rates the team's performance against nine key performance areas including key stakeholders outside the team to give a 360 degree feedback loop.

Values Alignment Workshop

Teams are about people and the way they treat each other. Values define what a team stands for and should be reflected in the way people behave. If you have a new team forming and need to define the values or feel there is poor alignment to existing values this workshop is for you!

Cross Team Collaboration

A team's success often depends upon how well it collaborates with other teams in the business. Too often we hear of a “silo” mentality with breakdown in communication across functions/departments/offices. This workshop brings teams together from across the business, building relationships, better understanding of other's roles, priorities and challenges. Team share what they need to fulfil their role and work cross-team together to find new ways to supporting each other back at work.

Work Styles Profile

People tend to practice what they prefer and therefore perform better in areas that match their work preference. Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team, and organisational performance. The TMS Team Management Index (TMI) is a 60-item online assessment focused on enhancing understanding of an individual's approach to work. Based on the responses to the TMI, the Team Management Profile (TMP) provides constructive, work-based information outlining an individual's work preferences and the strengths that an individual brings to a team including leadership strengths, decision-making, interpersonal skills and team building. The Personal Team Management Profile highlights an individual's major and related areas of work preferences, including information focussed on:

• Work Preferences
• Decision mking
• Team-building
• Leadership Strengths
• Interpersonal Skills 

Change Profile (Qo2)

 Is your glass half-empty or half-full? This new profile from Team Management Systems explores the fifth dimension of human behavior and determines the balance of effort people put into seeing the opportunities and obstacles at work. This profile, together with the Work Styles Profile (TMP), can give individuals work-based feedback on the five independent factors of the human psyche.

· MTG Energy - how much energy you put into 'Moving Towards Your Goals'
· Multi-Pathways - the extent to which you f ind ways around obstacles
· Fault-Finding - how good you are at seeing potential obstacles
· Optimism - The extent to which you expect positive outcomes
· T ime-Focus - a measure of your psychological time and your orientation to the past, the present or the future

Linking Skills Profile (LSI)

There's more to teaming than just hooking things up! Linking - the
integrating of people and work process is necessary to ensure high
performance at work. Extensive interviews with teams and team leaders throughout the world continue to highlight common elements responsible for integrating teams into a coherent "whole". Team Management Systems identifies these elements as Linking Skills, which need to be implemented by all members of a team, though often focused on the team leader. The Linking Skills Profile Questionnaire (LSPQ) is a 66-item multi-rater assessment through which a number of different people rate an individual's linking skills.
