Performance can mean many different things. High-performing teams make sure that they are asking the right questions, at the right time, so that they can keep abreast of shifting requirements from customers within and outside their organisation. Using a range of methods (e.g. Organizational and Relationship Systems Consulting; Solutions-Focused Consulting; feedback and feedforward), we encourage teams to adopt a learning culture in which members continuously challenge and support each other. They build openness and trust not just for the sake of a “good atmosphere” but in order to be able to hold each other accountable for their common goals. We typically start with a kick-off session of one day. Issues will be identified and an action plan will be agreed. After that, the team will follow-up with the consultant approximately every 3 months until the joint action plan is implemented or in order to adjust team actions to new developments. These meetings can be integrated into existing team meetings.
Consulting for virtual effectiveness Improving performance of virtual teams. The team reviews the challenges they face because of their virtual cooperation and develops a team charter. In this, the team members create joint standards in order to improve communication channels, decision-making processes and knowledge management. The process of getting to an agreement creates trust – the pre-condition for a high-performing team.
Participants become aware of how their own behaviour is perceived by other team members and reflect on the cultural dimensions that are relevant for their team. With the help of the TIP© personality instrument (The International Profiler) they learn how they can improve their personal, interpersonal and methodical skills in order to manage their assignment as part of an international team more effectively. © TIP (The International Profiler) is the property of WorldWork Ltd.
