Significantly Improving Team Productivity
When you look around, most teams succumb to dysfunction of one type or another. A recent HBR study found that a whopping 75% of cross-functional teams are dysfunctional and don’t meet their goals, and teams within functions often don’t fare much better.
There are many pitfalls that teams can fall into, and this is partly why there hasn’t been a universally successful solution to improving how teams function. Ropes course?

Precious few organizations have delved deeply enough into the ‘the black box’ of what the necessary conditions for highly productive teams are, and have not equipped their team leaders with a mental model and management methods to continuously improve team productivity.
In this hybrid work era, it’s especially important to carefully cultivate the right environment that supports highly productive team work. Working on team work (removing the black box) by providing the right mental model and methods will greatly enhance the productivity of teams across your organization.
DATA-DRIVEN ACTION LEARNING, WITH PEERS
Most adults learn best when they’re solving a real problem that’s important to them. We provide an environment where there’s ongoing ‘action learning’ to solve a highly relevant, pressing problem - how to improve team productivity to deliver the results.
Most of us also like working with accurate measurements and real-time data, to help us gauge progress. And by problem solving alongside respected industry peers, we increase not only innovation, but also accountability, motivation, and learning simultaneously.
