Team Performance

While effective teams are essential to the success of every organization, team building is often viewed as the “soft stuff,” and when neglected, can lead to inefficiencies and even dysfunction. Teambuilding doesn’t have to be touchy feely and it will improve team productivity.

You can make a difference in your team dynamic. Remember that Teamwork is both a GW Value and one of the GW Key Performance Factors. We know effective teamwork matters. As a result, SLD offers you two services below that you may use to improve team performance.

Team Process Support When new or existing teams get together with a common purpose, they experience four stages of development (Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing). SLD will help your team progress through these stages by offering facilitation or resources you can use with your teams. Whether you need to agree on the team charter, improve team decision-making, or enable the team to engage in healthy productive conflict, SLD can help. Through team facilitation and self guided learning options, SLD will get your team on the path to success. To explore, click here.

Team Training Why send one person off to training when you can bring in a GW trainer (no chargebacks) and train your entire team? When your team learns new skills together – it increases the likelihood that each person will retain and use what was learned. Beyond cost and retention, the real value of team-based training is that it creates a platform for teammate feedback about developmental opportunities and ways of strategizing simple solutions they can’t see through their own eyes. This kind of peer to peer coaching makes the training far more effective. SLD trainers will customize an agenda to help your team develop and refine key competencies and skills.
