High Performance Team Development: Quality Tools for Quality Teams

I presented a similar workshop last year. This one is going to be similar yet different. Some major differences are going to be more time spent on Clarification of Role Responsibilities (who does what when; who is accountable to whom; authority of assigning and taking away existing work and project tasks.)

 

Who should attend and why?

If are a Project Sponsor / Champion, Team Leader, Team member of a Quality Team and want to enhance your skill sets in Team Development, Facilitative Leadership, Project Management and people skills then this is where you should be. The material and learning simulations in this workshop are designed to make you a better leader and team member, plus we will have fun!   

This will be accomplished through;

  • Interactive delivery of content.
  • Experiential application and practice of the content
  • Followed by processing and steps for integration into your team and organization.

The material is able to be used and understood by people, who have a working knowledge of Quality Teams (6 Sigma, Lean, Process Improvement, etc…) Whether you lead teams or are a team member the material covered and techniques shared will be useful for you to harness the hard skills, interpersonal skills and political skills (Soft Skills) needed to complete successful Quality Projects.

Outcomes:

You will walk away from this workshop with;

  • How to develop high performance Quality teams; With a prescriptive model that can be applied and utilized. 
  • Facilitative leadership of teams.
  • Effective Prevention and intervention methods of maladaptive team member behaviors.
  • Steps to create “buy in” for the Quality projects from people who are outside the team.
  • A community of professionals that will share resources, best practices, and serve as solution finders to Quality Teams within their organizations.
