team collaboration*

We offer distinctive team interventions designed to create high performing teams and collaborative working.

TeamTalks

TeamTalks is a unique Hennessy Consulting team intervention designed to take teams from good to great. Using a structured flow of activities, teams find that they quickly get talking in a natural and easy way about themselves, their business goals, where they are pulling together and, as trust develops, where there are differing views. After a series of one day or half day sessions, teams become stronger together and deliver results more consistently as a leadership team.

 

Benefits to your business

 

You will find competitive advantage from:

 

  • Accelerated effectiveness of newly formed teams
  • Your leadership team speaking with a united voice to internal and external stakeholders
  • Visible collective leadership in times of change and uncertainty
  • The leadership team seen as an asset for your business

Collaboration

Collaboration has been developed by Hennessy Consulting as a cross-team intervention. You know that business results slip as politics and silos deepen. This can paralyse an organisation as information is held back, mistakes covered up, lip service given and decisions deferred or remade. Collaboration is a psychological process that creates connections peer-to-peer across different organisational levels, allowing relationships to develop across silos and prompting problem solving on the spot. Escalation will become a rare and useful process for key decisions rather than a default in turf wars.

 

Benefits to your business

 

These include:

 

  • Higher levels of engagement and identity with the overall organisation
  • People doing what’s best for the business as a whole (not just their patch)
  • Increased comfort to explore key issues and challenges in cross team meetings

team coaching*

We work with your leadership team in real situations, providing in-the-moment opportunities to reflect, take fresh perspectives and feedback, and experiment with new team dynamics.

Our superb and highly-experienced facilitators will work with you to make direct observations of real team meetings, board sessions, executive meetings, quarterly reviews, etc. In these observed sessions we use Pause-Review-Learn-Go to give you in-the-moment time-outs that:

 

  • Create awareness of positive and negative interactions
  • Help your team explore alternatives together for more constructive, collaborative dynamics
  • Set your team up to try out these new dynamics in a safe way 

 

Contact us to find out more about how we can coach your team to greater effectiveness.

team facilitation*

Our experienced facilitators can ease the flow of a range of senior multi-stakeholder meetings as we understand team dynamics and group process.

Having an independent, neutral facilitator who is highly experience and skilled at working with senior and executive leadership teams, is at times the best way to bring a team together to work collaboratively and effectively to tackle difficult or contentious issues.
