Bring your ideas from the shadows – let them shine
Implement your ideas – let them work for you
At StrategyWorks we assist leaders in organisations, and their teams, who are tired of inadequate plans, half-hearted teams and false starts, to clearly define where they want to go and how they will get there. And we assist leaders and teams with the inevitable challenges they meet on the way.
Is your strategy losing ground?
So many organisations are floundering in a sea of opportunities and threats.
They work in teams, but no one is quite sure, at any one time, who is in the team and who is not, what is expected of them, and how far their authority extends.
Members of the team battle in inappropriate internal structures and an organisational culture hostile to team effectiveness. They spend endless hours debating their mandate, goals and responsibilities. They never quite get to a plan of action, or at least when they do, everyone knows it will change. So nobody gets on with the work. Member talent is wasted and team energy drains out in futile ways of interacting. Nobody asks for help.
Get your team invested in your strategy and plan of action
There are good reasons for working in teams. Teams can take on larger, more complex tasks than individuals. No one can guarantee team success. But you can create a solid foundation for team delivery in which teams know what is expected of them.
You can have self motivating teams, with the right technical skills, taking advantage of their diversity within agreed norms. Each of your teams can have a clear, compelling direction, an energising challenge to focus the team and engage their collective talents. You can review the support your teams are receiving from the organisation.
But look out for the obstacles
While there are many benefits to working in teams, teamwork is seldom easy. Pitfalls and energy drains abound to impede the team effort, confuse the work-practices and prevent the team from learning from experience.
Create the conditions for success
At StrategyWorks we provide support for leaders to structure their teams and set compelling direction and get the support they require from the organisation.
With this in place, your teams will deliver what is expected of them. And while they are delivering these teams can grow as a team. What is more, the individuals in each of the teams have been growing, as individuals.
And sometimes, when all of this is in place, your team will produce magic.
A brief introduction
At StrategyWorks we have been helping leaders and teams establish and focus teams since 1999. We have set strategy, launched project, and supported teams through consulting, coaching and facilitating within a five component framework. In this time we have developed a solid record of success in national and international organisations in Financial services, Retail, Education and Government.
We offer the following services to tap into team energy:
Our first step in any of these processes is to understand the client situation. We then flex and fit our process to the situation.
We have been facilitating conversations to define strategy and initiate projects, through workshops and individual coaching for more than 15 years and have used Action Research with great success to help clients cut to the root of issues. In this time we have created a solid record of success. This can work for you too.
