team development Success is no longer a question of outstanding individuals, but rather of high performance teams.

With the increasing individuality of customer demands and project requirements the importance of teamwork increases. The ressources, expertise and above all the cooperation of all team members is needed to deliver high quality products on time.

Highly motivated and dedicated employees, a cooperative work atmosphere, a clear commitment to team goals, accountability and solution oriented performance - something many team leaders and often team members long for and aspire to.

Teamwork, however, doesn’t always meet the desired and necessary standards. Neverending discussions with ambiguous results, unclear responsibilities, an ineffective workflow – stress factors that in the long run have high costs causing continual delays, frequent mistakes and a propensity for team conflicts.

Eine Teamentwicklung kann einen unmittelbar spürbaren und nachhaltig positiven Einfluss auf die Qualität der Zusammenarbeit im Team haben.

Frequent measures are:

identifying and resolving dysfunctional group dynamics
identifying and utilizing team strengths
defining team goals
implementing new meeting formats and re-designing existing meeting structures
improving the definition and coordination of work processes
establishing a constructive feedback culture
establishing solution oriented communication techniques

What specific measures have a lasting and positive effect on the quality of teamwork and performance depends the business field and organizational factors. It is, however, also a matter of the individual team members and team history. Our team development designs are based on a professional understanding of

team dynamics
organizational context factors
psycho-social factors

Conflict Management creating lasting and positive solutions

Conflicts at the workplace not only put a strain on those directly involved. If not actively dealt with, they eventually begin to effect the motivation and performance of the whole team or even department. Creating lasting and positive solutions requires a professional understanding of both the structural and the interpersonal factors of conflict dynamics at the workplace. We help you rebuild trust and sympathy and find solutions that will enable you to once again enjoy your working life with the energy and motivation you need to perform well.
