The TEAMING ADVANTAGE

The Situation

In our challenging work environment, teams are under pressure 100% of the time to perform. The key question to consider is, will that pressure cripple the team, or will the team choose to lean into and use that pressure as motivation to do things differently to meet the demands of a new and evolving workscape?

Our Solution

The Teaming Advantage TM experience offers a focused and practical approach to team performance focused on 5 key “Crucibles” present in a team work environment. These Crucibles provide a space where teams can harness the high pressure and demand, and use it to create, test, and improve new and critical capabilities in a high performing team environment.

The 5 ‘Crucibles’ of effective teaming supported by a model of Team-Based Leadership:

Using our Teaming Advantage Experience, we equip individuals, teams and organizations with step-by-step tools to:

  • Rapidly assess against the conditions that enable teams to thrive and succeed. This assessment helps to pinpoint areas of strength to leverage while also highlighting gaps to improve.

  • Build capability via just in time practical activities, resources and tools to support the real-time needs of the teams to deliver on their high priority work.

  • Conduct continuous improvement cycles at the initiative and individual level.

  • Reflect back to your team the experiences of other teams across a variety of work contexts and industries.

  • Build team comradery in co-located or virtual work environments through uniting around common goals and connecting team members on a personal level.

  • Create lasting and sustainable impact.

“The Teaming Advantage accelerated our Senior Leadership’s ability to build bridges across traditionally siloed parts of our complex and large hospital system. The skills gained helped us to influence more broadly in areas where we do not have direct control, and to get a seat at the table in larger system-wide efforts as we transition from Fee for Service to Value Based Care”.
