The Challenge
A manufacturing company engaged us to work with the leadership team of one business unit. Pressure from business environment and lack of a structured performance management process created stress and the need for better alignment and coordination. The goal was to develop into a high-performing team. We facilitated the yearly strategic planning meeting.
Our solution
In preparation for the meeting we administered the Team Report and had a one-hour debriefing session with each of the 6 team members.
We then facilitated a 1 day workshop divided in two parts:
1) The first half called "R&R and Teamwork" served to define roles and responsibility and set an agenda for communication, around the strengths and challenges found in the Team Report.
2) The second half, we provided a framework to facilitate goal setting for the year both at the team and individual level and how to cascade it down to the business unit.
​
The leadership team left the meeting with a clear actionable plan and we established two check-in points at 1 and 3 months with two 4-hours virtual sessions.
We asked to assess their improvement in work effectiveness and team communication, participants responded with average scores of 8.4 and 8.7 out of 10, respectively.
