Teamworking
Description
The benefits of teamworking are well understood. For many, a teamworking culture is an essential element of the organisation’s culture. However, achieving this is not easy.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the challenges around remote working, the need for cross-functional working and project teams mean it is more important than ever to understand teamworking and create and maintain that culture where it is the default way of working.
How We Can Help
Measure
Doug Strycharczyk and Professor Peter Clough have, over 30+ years developed a model which describes the key components of high-performance team working. The more competent that a team is in each area, the better its team performance.

Analyse
TWOI allows benchmarking of team behaviours and activities. The framework allows us to:
- Understand what are the characteristics of high-performing teams.
- Understand how teams work – why group dynamics matter.
- How to plan to attain the benefits of effective teamworking.
- Harnessing the people resource for continuous improvement.
- Understand the importance of roles and personality in teamworking.
