Please make a brief note of the context you have chosen.

Please note that, unless you got a '1', there are some beneficial aspects to the current situation. For example, if you chose 'meetings' and got a '5', then perhaps some of the things that make it a '5' and not a '4' are 'people turn up on time', 'sometimes we resolve our major issues', etc. Take a minute or two to list these positive aspects.

Now consider what would need to change first to get to one rating higher. In the example given, maybe to get to a '6' would require 'we circulate an agenda to everyone at least a few days ahead of the meeting', 'Bill and Sue start to resolve their antagonism toward each other', etc. Again, please take a minute or two to list what it would take to get one rating higher.

Congratulations! You have now created just the key aspects to work on to develop your team in the context you chose. Any more would be an overload for now. To build the case for change, simply answer: 1. Who would benefit from this new scenario? 2. What would be the business benefits to your team, other teams, and customers? 3. How valuable would these be?

If you feel you need to add more weight to the case for change, simply go up another notch on the scale toward '10'. You may decide to progress the next steps for development yourself, in which case we wish you genuine good fortune, and we would be interested to hear of your progress (we are happy to interact with you free of charge).

You may wish to take advantage of a no-obligation no-charge conversation with us that you can initiate by simply telephoning us on 07010 700 703, faxing us on 07010 700 704, or emailing us at the 'Contact us' option below, in which case we look forward to hearing from you soon. Any responses you have entered in the boxes above will automatically be sent along too.

Team Assessment, free of charge or obligation

We offer an optional team assessment, completely free of charge or obligation, which helps you pinpoint the areas of strength already existing in the topic being measured (Balanced Working, Magic Meetings, Fast Partnering, etc), as well as highlighting the areas that will give you the greatest returns for the minimum outlay.
