We work with boards to improve their effectiveness, to resolve issues and to maximise individual contributions. We also design and run events to build high performing teams

> board development

> what we do:

• We run programmes to build high performing Top Teams. We apply psychological techniques to create strong alignment on the purpose and priorities of the team. We help board members understand and accommodate the different strengths and styles that exist in the team. This ensures that the team expends its energy on driving the business forward rather than on internal conflicts, power struggles or disagreements

> team building events

> what we do:

• We design and run events to build effective working teams with a shared sense of purpose. We focus on critical organisational, team and individual success factors. These include team aims, objectives and accountabilities, team dynamics, team performance and team members' behaviour

• Our approach is integrated with business needs
• The design of our programmes uses real and current issues as a vehicle for building effective team performance. We build the team using actual situations the team is facing rather than simulations, 'business exercises' or role plays. This ensures maximum and sustained impacts on team performance back in the workplace

• We address the real issues
• We believe that whilst being supportive, our role is to raise and confront the critical issues which are not being addressed in a constructive way. This ensures that the team surfaces and works on the underlying barriers to effective performance

• Our programmes are output focused
• We believe that it is not enough to create a positive working atmosphere. It is also critical to deliver real outputs on real issues. This might include agreeing business priorities, determining processes for making decisions, specifying individual deliverables and accountabilities and agreeing plans for delivering change. We include action planning sessions after every activity
• Our approach is tailored and flexible
• Every team operates differently and faces different issues. Before we undertake any team activity we undertake a detailed diagnosis using structured interviews and team effectiveness surveys to ensure that we design interventions which address the key issues in the right way. This ensures the maximum business impact
