Our 5-Element Team Effectiveness Framework

Drawing on a range of evidence-based team frameworks[1] and our own considerable experience, our 5-Element Team Effectiveness Framework (copyright pending) offers an inventory of  the components that make up a highly effective team.

It can be used to:

➡️    Understand how the team contributes to your business’ value chain.

➡️    Support a team effectiveness audit.

➡️    Create a systems-view of the team by considering the interplay of components, and identifying levers of performance and dysfunction.

➡️    Provide the framework for a team charter and capability development plan.

 

#1.          Situations

Teams do not exist in a vacuum. Having a common understanding of context, within the business and beyond, and how this may change over time is essential.

Our Building Better Teams programmes explore a range of tools that will help you do this.

#2.          Foundations

Teams exist to deliver on the needs of their principal stakeholder(s), the essence of which is distilled as the team’s Purpose.

Our Building Better Teams programmes will help you get clear on this and what is needed to create a teamenvironment that enables positive challenge and mutual accountability.

#3.          Aspirations

If you aim at nothing, you will hit it! What kind of team do you need to become in order to deliver on your purpose in an ever-changing environment?

Our Building Better Teams programmes explore different team types, goal-setting, and how to plot and commit to your collective improvement journey.

#4.          Operations

Your team delivers true value when colleagues work together and deliver on collective goals. They are interdependent and hold one another accountable.

Our Building Better Teams programmes will help you build an operating environment that promotes and sustains an effective blend of challenge and support and drives collective performance.

#5.          Integrations

Your team is only as effective as its value-adding relationships with other teams in the business! These can be sub-optimal at best and dysfunctional or non-existent at worst.

Our Building Better Teams programmes will lift your gaze beyond the team’s boundaries to better understand the wider value system you are part of, and the skills and systems needed to play your full part.
