Team Development

"The fullest participation by all is testimony to the excellence of the event"
Secretariat, St Dunstan's

Our business psychologists have extensive experience of team development in both the public and private sector and, as with all OPS interventions, our team development workshops are designed specifically to suit the needs of the client. We don’t offer ready-made ‘all purpose’ teambuilding activities. Instead, we prefer to explore objectives and potential solutions with the individuals involved.

The most common issues that we have helped organisations resolve are
     • Lack of effective leadership and mutual support
     • Interpersonal difficulties
     • Team goals not aligned with members' or organisational goals
     • Team members communicating on different wavelengths
     • Stress becoming the norm and draining team resources

We will explore your organisation’s objectives and recommend solutions to ensure that individual, team and organisation goals are synchronised for optimal performance.

The approach we take may involve
     • Discussions with client to establish expectations and criteria
     • Preliminary questionnaires and 360 degree feedback
     • Psychometric assessment of individual team members
     • Bringing together organisational and individual aims
     • Exploring team and organisational culture
     • Identifying individuals’ strengths and development needs
     • Identifying what team members need from one another
     • Providing an action plan and detailed report

Sometimes it is also necessary to manage conflicts between some members of the team or develop their skills around emotional intelligence.

Please have a look at a Team Development case study for more information.
