“Trust is the trail guide through the wilderness of change!” Bill McCarthy
Increasingly with the complex level of issues facing organizations and groups, it is clear that no one person can hold the “entire detailed picture” to develop a complete set of interventions. Collaboration has become a growing quest for organizations forced to expand beyond traditional silos of responsibility. Organizations that create a culture of collaboration are moving to highly interactive interdependent teams.
Teams however do not form by just calling them “teams”. For a team to be highly effective it needs to go through a series of developmental experiences preferably around real work that creates high engagement, trust and clarity of direction. Engagement is the product of working together within clearly defined capacities and having ownership of their direction. Trust is the result of continued experience with people doing what they committed themselves to do. Clarity of direction can come from either a highly developed team leader or from a group experience of creating their team’s direction. When teams have the benefit of well-trained and well coached leadership they can move to the highest levels of performance and innovation.
TAVA offers a number of developmental experiences that can be customized for executive teams, operational teams, or groups focused on a common mission. These experiences include designs that provide:
| • |
An assessment of a team’s current performance as a team; |
| • |
The identification of personal psychological preferences that impact a team’s performance; |
| • |
A review of a team “collaboration” model; |
| • |
A process known as AMCat™ (Advanced Management Catalyst™) which is a group facilitated software assisted process that identifies a collective team vision, strategy and plan to deliver performance based logistics moving them forward as a group. The AMCat process is delivered as a joint effort of TAVA & AMCi (www.amcinc.com). |
| • |
Action/experiential exercises designed to anchor critical team behaviors; and |
| • |
Team coaching over extended periods of time. |
