Team products

Teams are often defined as: "a small number of people, with complimentary skills, committed to an agreed purpose for which they hold themselves mutually accountable." (Kazenbach) Yet sometimes our teams are scattered, across functions, across projects, across continents and very, very busy. So how do we maximise the strengths we have in the team, how do we ensure our teams are aligned, cohesive and performing to maximum ability?

What skills do you have within the team, who will be best at particular tasks and at specific phases of the team activities? Some team memebrs excel at the initiation phase where things have to be ignited and brought together, whilst some fare better at the production phase, when things need to get driven through to completion. With this knowledge you can ensure that your teams work to maximum effectiveness.

The blackswan team products allow you to measure the performance of your teams against a set of externally validated criteria, to see where the gaps are, the areas of superior performance and the areas for improvement. Rather than spend several days on off-site meetings, the team products allow you to measure online, to coach online, to assess online and to have sustained, quality engagement between the team and team leader.
