Team

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. ” – Henry Ford

While a well-considered strategy and well-aligned operating model is the genesis of business success, execution is what makes or breaks it. Wouldn’t it be good if your leadership team worked like a clock, executed with excellence and delivered every time all the time no matter what the business challenge was? It would be a dream come true!

Our suite of interventions for the TEAM enable the best team compositions, the best team dynamics and the best team transitions so that the results are accelerated.

     

    ida Team Effectiveness is our customized team coaching program. It is designed to support the leader and the team to get the best out of them against a specific business agenda. It simultaneously builds the team capabilities and the team dynamics, creating lasting team effectiveness.

    Any team at any time would benefits from such support. However, there are some use cases where this intervention is a must-have:

    • New team
    • New leader
    • Complex strategy with high level of interdependencies
    • Transformation agenda

      While each program is customized, a set of key principles shape the programmatic approach:

      • Team aligns on how they execute the business strategy together; they maintain their individual set of objectives while also taking on an enterprise leader role. (Dual role of Leadership Team members)
      • They gain insights about their individual capabilities and motivations which can help or hinder team effectiveness and performance. (Self-awareness)
      • They practice better strategy execution and better teaming simultaneously. (Dual focus)
      • Facilitation is business focused, practical, outside-in and direct; real life examples and best practices are shared.
      • Team dynamics are critical and addressed through behavioral interventions. Norms and practices are created by the team, commitment for change is required, accountability is embedded.
      • Capability gaps are collectively addressed; team reviews how to complement and support each other’s development.
      • The Leader is equipped with insights and tools to define and facilitate the team model, operating mode and composition for now and the future, as well as flexibly.

        ida Team Assessment and ida Team Succession are specific solutions that provide objective assessment and recommendations about the viability of the team against a specific business objective. Recommendations might include:

            • How to develop individual team members or adjust their roles
            • Create new roles or hire new team members
            • Revise the team model, operating mode and/or composition

        While these two solutions are integral part of our ida Team Effectiveness approach, they can also be utilized stand alone, especially in following instances:

         

            • Non-executive Board Review
            • Management Team Review
            • M&A
            • Reorganization
