Successful Innovation Teams

Successful team members don't do the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing at the right time. While team members work together toward a common goal, individuals still must play their individual roles in the process. As organizations rely more and more on teams to innovate, problem solve, produce, and compete at the speed of change, clearly understanding and capitalizing on individual approaches to group processes is the bottom line on creating high performance teams.

By using the Team Dimensions Profile, we help to identify the four key roles in innovative team performance:

• Creator
• Advancer
• Refiner
• Executor

The profile uses the "Z Process" to map the flow of assigning roles, completing tasks, then handing off to another person on the team. This approach gets new teams moving forward quickly and gets current teams unstuck.

Through our team approach to learning, the customization we provide for you, the classroom activities and the personal assessment, we help people in your organization:

• Identify individual strengths and approaches to teamwork
• Clarify team members' roles
• Reinforce the contributions of every team member
• Reduce project cycle time and increase productivity
