Team Development
Helping Teams Align and Develop Together.
Smooth and efficient collaboration can be elusive, with challenges like poor communication, competing agendas, slow decision-making, conflict, and lack of results often obscuring the root causes. TADA helps your team move forward together, fostering a shared worldview and agreed-upon norms.
Teams—especially leadership teams—need outstanding collaboration to deliver results. Achieving goals and improving performance form the foundation of our teamwork development approach. We integrate the team's operational work with processes that enhance collaboration, combining coaching and retreats to align goals, refine workflows, and clarify accountabilities. This method builds strong relationships and fosters smoother interpersonal dynamics.
Our process often starts with assessments to understand individual team members, utilizing tools like the Hogan Assessment, proprietary surveys, or interviews. By exploring individual perspectives and their impact on the business, we identify how teamwork enhances—or hinders—value. Through discussions of team dynamics, we uncover challenges and opportunities, driving awareness and commitment to behavior change.
We help teams establish cultural norms, operating principles, and behavioral expectations, enabling new and evolving teams to align and act as one.
Whether your team is forming, merging, or in need of a reset, TADA helps unlock the potential of teamwork.
Case Study – Building Agile Norms to Overcome Team Challenges:
A global product management and development team faced delays in scheduled releases, with leadership meetings mired in conflict and miscommunication. Spanning offices in Asia, the Middle East, and the U.S., the newly formed team needed a clear path forward.
Through a series of facilitated sessions, TADA helped the team establish norms and manage triggers to foster effective collaboration and streamlined communication:
Identified key challenges hindering team performance.
Guided sub-teams to develop and adopt an agile playbook using action-learning techniques.
Leveraged insights from the Hogan Derailers Survey to improve awareness of team dynamics and interpersonal triggers.
Strengthened collaboration across diverse geographies and cultures.
Supported team members to step into new leadership roles and adapt their styles to lead effectively in a new context.
As a result, the team experienced enhanced collaboration, smoother interactions, and renewed focus on shared goals. Several managers reported measurable improvements in efficiency and morale, setting the foundation for future success. Their product development cycle was shortened and progress accelerated.
