Toolkit overview

Whilst where work gets done has radically changed in recent times, many of the frustrations and inefficiencies around how work gets done remain or have intensified given many of us no longer work from a single location. 

Our team effectiveness toolkit can help. Informed by our work with high performing teams it can be used in any team working environment – be it virtual, face-to-face or a blend of the two. It shares a plethora of pragmatic tools that will either address or enhance how your team works together and what it collectively achieves. 

What this toolkit will help you to achieve

  • Respond well to pressure: Establish a robust team response to workplace pressure, so a more transparent and supportive team working environment exists

  • Leverage team strengths: Identify, recognise and optimise the strengths within your team so you can best meet work demands

  • Improve prioritisation capabilities: Enhance how you and your team prioritise and focus on work – even when priorities change

  • Establish high performance habits: Establish and sustain team high performance by focusing on energy renewal

  • Create shared focus: Encourage a team to focus their energy and efforts on issues they can collectively own, overcome or influence

  • Get unstuck: Collectively identify’ blockers’ that are stalling progress and establish pragmatic ways to overcome these obstacles

  • Speed up and improve decision making: Improve the process for how decisions are made within a team, so that work progresses in an efficient and timely way

  • Address and overcome workplace inefficiencies: Build understanding around the workplace inefficiencies that exist and take action to address them

  • Best manage change: Build understanding around how people perceive and respond to change, and ways to manage those responses - minimising their negative impact
