Team development interventions refers to facilitated processes and activities designed to improve team performance. High Performance Team development is usually used when an interdependent team needs to improve the way they work together to achieve growth and high results.
High performing teams or HPTs comprise of individual strengths combined with the right leadership to deliver high-quality results that are aligned to organisational goals. High performance Teams are generally formed with highly skilled professionals from cross-functional areas and focus on achieving a common business goal. According to a McKinsey Report published in 2017, when members of a high performing team work together towards a common vision and achieving a common goal the financial performance increases by 1.9 times. The report also stated that employees are five times more productive when working in a High Performance Team than in an average team. Building an High Performance Team HPT is one of the proven business efficiency techniques that organizations cannot choose to ignore nowadays.
We have developed a time-tested, proven system geared towards developing High performance teams through an experiential and structured learning process to adopt and apply practical principles that revolve around the core tenants of teamwork.
Our HPT Team Development program is a powerful intervention based on process facilitation and experiential learning methodology that helps teams enhance their purpose, productivity, cohesion and communication to accomplish outstanding results back at work.

Team Development model of facilitation focus on the different stages of team development and come up with strategies and tactics for application of the learning back at the work place.

The five dysfunctions are: Absence of Trust, Fear of Conflict, Lack of Commitment, Avoidance of Accountability, and Inattention to Results. This model includes a team assessment to determine team scores on the 5 dysfunctions and provide your team with a sense of its strengths and areas for improvement.
