Team Development

As with team building, the relational aspects of collaboration are often an important part of development measures. However, the goal here is less about the team growing together and more about increasing performance through well-defined roles and an optimized distribution of tasks.

Projects

Depending on the needs and concerns, different objectives are pursued with the team development measures, such as:

Clarification of goals, interfaces, roles and tasks in the team for greater effectiveness and efficiency,

Strengthening team cohesion, encouraging mutual understanding and increasing satisfaction,

Resolving conflicts and establishing a functioning feedback culture

Strengthening the ability to act for upcoming challenges and changes.

The role of the team leader can vary within the process: sometimes they are part of the process (and thus part of the system), while other times they are only the client and an important part of the team's external environment.

In addition to this fundamental question, a survey of the current situation and a needs analysis will be conducted. We will approach this through preliminary interviews to clarify the following questions:

Which level of hierarchy meets here?

Will there be points of contact for vertical team development in addition to horizontal development?

What is the main goal: are questions of responsibility and roles in the foreground? Or are processes and improved work sequences the focus? Are relationships and cooperation the focus? Or are goals, prioritisation, and potential conflicting goals the topic?

In which organisational/team history is the measure embedded (what happened before, what is expected in the future)?

In our role as moderators, we react very flexibly to the developing dynamics within the formats and adapt our approach to meet these needs. Through a mixture of content input, team-building activities, and reflection phases, we support the participants in achieving their goals as a team.

The impact

Your team has a shared vision of what goal should be achieved and why everyone does what they do.

Cross-functional thinking allows each team member to consider the “other’s issue” and to use this understanding proactively.

Trust and interest in one another is strengthened, creating the basis for openness, cohesion and renewal. 

Team cohesion becomes the basis for employee satisfaction and commitment.
