Workshop

One day workshop to understand how the team performance is improving, the value this is creating and the pathways available through which team performance and role-model leadership can be embedded and  improved.

Diagnostic Interviews

In the diagnostic phase we are seeking to fully understand your organisation, your team and your operating environment.  Off the shelf solutions don’t work here so we need to ensure that we can design a solution specifically for your organisation and your leadership team.

We will want to talk with the CEO, with the leadership team and with a range of stakeholders so that we can understand how the leadership team operates, how they are perceived and, specifically, what outstanding performance looks like.

The content of the interviews is confidential to give people the opportunity to speak openly – we will cluster the responses into themes which we can then use to develop and drive high performance behaviours through this process.

The interviews will typically take 45-60 minutes per person and for most organisations we can get this done over a two-day period.

Team Workshop

The team workshop is the first opportunity to hold the mirror up to the leadership team and discuss how they are operating and how they are perceived by colleagues and stakeholders.

We use this process to raise self-awareness and to ensure that the whole team is on the same page with regard to their focus and commitment to become a high performing business leadership team.

Within the workshop we explore the nature of teams comprising technical experts versus the nature of teams comprising business leaders and draw out the pathway to focus the development journey.  In this way we are able to provide specific tools, techniques and approaches that will help each individual and the whole team to develop high performance habits and behaviours.

The workshop takes a day, typically off-site, and each person leaves with a clear development focus which they will take into the later stages of this journey.

Action Learning

Action learning is a powerful way to accelerate the team development process and has been used with significant results in a wide range of organisations.

It enables us to work with the Leadership team as a whole, exploring how the team is working, how it is translating the learning from the Team Workshop into actions and now those actions are delivering value.

We recognise the difficulty of changing behaviour and the fact that this is made very much easier and faster when supported by a team of colleagues engaging in the same development journey.  The Action Learning process enables us to engage in open conversations with the team about their behaviours, performance and profile and support them in intentionally becoming high performance role models.

Action Learning sessions typically take between 2-3 hours and are scheduled inline with the existing meeting structure so that we can address development whilst tackling the real issues that the team need to deal with.  We will usually seek to hold three of these meetings in this development journey.

One-to-One Coaching

Coaching is recognised as one of the most effective leadership development processes across the world and is exceptionally powerful in enhancing self-awareness and driving performance improvements through insightful conversations.

Coaching conversations are confidential which gives leaders the opportunity to explore openly how and why they behave as they do, and importantly, how they want to modify their behaviours to deliver outstanding performance, consistently and authentically.

Coaching is an action-oriented process and sessions always conclude with a summary of the learning and a focus on specific actions that the leader will take to boost their performance and team contributions.  The coaching process builds self-awareness, knowledge and capability through the successive sessions.

Coaching conversations typically take 90 minutes, and we hold 4 of these with each person through the development journey within a structured timeline that enables actions and reflections between each session.

Pathways Workshop

The culmination of this programme is a leadership team workshop in which we take time to reflect on how the individual leaders and the team have developed through the process and measure this against the initial objectives from the Diagnostic Interviews.

The workshop is specifically designed to evaluate, celebrate and consolidate the learning and progress that has been made, the beneficial impact this has had on team and organisational performance.  It recognises that being a high performing and collaborative team is not an end state, rather it is a process of adaptation and growth which needs to be managed with purposeful intent.

The forward focus for the workshop is to help the team to understand and agree appropriate development pathways through which their performance can be enhanced and embedded across the whole organisation.

This is a one-day workshop and again each person leaves with a clear action plan based on substantive, evidence-based feedback and a confidence that they can manage their ongoing development journey.
