Team Development

What is the aim of training and development? It seems to be used as a general sweep across the workforce, without much regard for whether it achieves its aims or even if its aims are worth achieving. Some companies have got to the stage where they are sending staff on the same course more than once, so that they are seen to be meeting their training quota. Training is expensive and time consuming; however the benefits outweigh the cost if the right employees are on the right programme.

Know the Game

Before you commit yourself and your team to a training programme, work out where you currently are, this can be done through a variety of methods, one way is to look on our web site and pick up the team diagnostics or stages of team development questionnaire. All your team members can complete this on line and it will provide information showing areas of strength and areas for development. The next step is to work out where you want to be, and how long you want to take to get there, which areas are important to you and not only how will you get there but what will it look-like once you are there.

Know the Rules

What is it that works for you now, there will be many strong areas within your team, so what do you want to keep and what are the areas you want to change. What is acceptable and what isn’t, your team needs to accept the need for change and understand why it is necessary. Training programmes are only the start of development, it takes a lot of effort to keep that development going and without the teams sponsorship it will take even more. What do you expect from your team, how do want them to approach this and very importantly what do you expect from your trainer.

Know the Score

For any course to be useful you have to be able to evaluate whether or not it has achieved its aims, was it relevant, was it pitched at the level you wanted, using these guidelines can help you to understand precisely what you need and give you a bench mark to measure the success of the course. Why not try our team diagnostics or stages of team development questionnaire six months after the course, have those areas that you targeted improved?
