Q. When is a team not a team?<\/p>\n

A. Quite a lot of the time it turns out<\/p>\n

We know that most people say they work in a team – but when pressed, they often describe a group of people working together loosely.\u00a0 They’re often vaguely working towards a broad and slightly ill-defined goal.\u00a0 (And they email each other a lot.)<\/p>\n

We work with intact teams from a number of different perspectives – but our inquiry with them will be based around a single question – ‘What is your unique purpose?’\u00a0\u00a0 This can often be a harder question to resolve than it first appears – but is critical in building a good foundation from which to move on with more development.<\/p>\n

We generally don’t build rafts or go mountaineering with teams – though wouldn’t necessarily write these off – if they were part of a coherent solution!\u00a0 Instead, we focus on purpose and the connections within and outside the team.<\/p>\n

We have worked with teams in lots of different ways – but our broad approach aligns with a Systemic Team Coaching approach.\u00a0 This ensures that the team is required to balance it’s focus and attention to the needs of the team members – but also external stakeholders, and those who commission the work of the team.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The leader of the team is a critical player in this work – and our scoping and design process starts with them.\u00a0\u00a0 What’s special about this team?\u00a0 Are they really a team?\u00a0 Do they need to be a team?\u00a0 What are they for?<\/p>\n

Every team is unique – and so we start with a conversation – get in touch with us if you’d like to talk about your own challenges at the moment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet in touch!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\"left\n\t\t\t\t\"right\n\t\t\t\t\"left\n\t

Sadly not every professional is interested in making sure that they are right up to date with the latest research and thinking in their core area. However Simon is one of those rare people who takes their professional responsibilities and development seriously, and who mixes practical experience with proper evidence and research. Simon is professional, knowledgeable and with a real concern for not only making sure that his work is evidence-based but that his deep knowledge is right up to date with the very latest research and evidence.<\/p>\n\tDavid Wilkinson<\/strong>
