Team development that finds what's missing

Team development is the work of improving how a group of people performs together, rather than how each of them performs alone. Here it starts with a team development assessment of how each person prefers to work, then a facilitated session that turns those differences into agreed ways of working.

Three. That is the minimum for the Group Overview, and it works for teams of any size and any level above that. Most sessions run with a single intact team rather than a mixed group, because the actions need to apply to people who work together.

It measures which of eight work roles each person naturally takes: Analyst, Innovator, Relator, Assertor, Supporter, Optimist, Striver and Finisher. Those sit under four behavioral clusters. At team level it shows which roles are crowded and which nobody covers.

Yes. The Group Workshop Toolkit gives people managers and team leaders the session guide, exercises, facilitator deck and pre-session activity, with an optional train-the-trainer session. Teams that want a consultant to run it instead can book a facilitated half day or full day.

Team development starts with the assessment: your team completes it, you see the shape, and you or we run the session. Team effectiveness is the consultant-led service for situations that need someone in the room, such as a newly formed leadership team or two businesses coming together.

When the team changes. A new joiner, a departure or a restructure changes the shape of the wheel, and the overview can be regenerated with the new line-up. Teams under steady conditions typically revisit it annually alongside their planning cycle.
