Our Team Building Approach

We customize team building:

1. coaching the team-building sponsor,
2. gathering data before holding any off-site meetings, and
3. following up to help facilitate behavior change and confront team performance issues.

	Worked with Capital Project teams all over the world to integrate Engineering, Business Units, Contractors, and Venture Partners: helping the integrated team commit to stretch objectives, develop a project structure that provided proper alignment, do the front end of the project right, and work through conflict.
	Worked with leadership teams to confront the team issues that prevented them from effectively leading change.
	Facilitated project teams facing contentious issues that made it difficult for line leaders to develop quality consensus recommendations.

	Implemented over 70 customized 360-degree feedback programs. "The Leadership Excellence Process" helps make an organization's vision and values come to life in changed leadership behavior.
	Developed and implemented a selection process to determine who were the right managers to staff a downsized organization. This resulted in pro- viding the top management team the quality information it needed to make difficult selection decisions.
	Conceptualized the management development process for the division of a major corporation: initial selection, on-the-job development, training, 360 feed back, and alignment with the organization's strategy and values.
