In developing and sustaining high performing teams rogenSi has a view that organisations should quantify the level of performance beyond high and aspire for exceptional.
What is an EP Team?
- It is NOT a group of people working together
- It is NOT an organisation that shares a common vision and a desire to collaborate
- It is a small number of individuals with complementary knowledge and skills who are committed to a common goal for which they hold themselves mutually accountable.
- More specifically is a small group of people with a full set of complementary skills required to complete a task, job, or project. Team members (1) operate with a high degree of interdependence, (2) share authority and responsibility for self-management, (3) are accountable for the collective performance, and (4) work toward a common goal and shared reward(s). A team becomes more than just a collection of people when a strong sense of mutual commitment creates synergy, thus generating performance greater than the sum of the performance of its individual members.
In order for the team to perform at the exceptional level it must be comprised of three core components; a) the EP Team Person, who must have the knowledge, skills, processes and mindset at the exceptional level in their required role; b) the EP Team Leader, who must be a technical, management, leadership and coaching expert at the exceptional level; c) with the team performing in an EP Team Dynamic that fosters and cultivates the necessary behaviours that need to exist in delivering exceptional results.
The EP Team Dynamic Program
At the heart of an Exceptional Performance Team Dynamic is: Discipline.
This discipline promotes decisiveness and standards of excellence while ensuring direct accountability. Such discipline is a main reason why commitments and expectations are always clear.
In an EP Team Dynamic individuals are informed and aligned around a shared vision. They have a high level of mutual trust with a laser like focus on continuous improvement.
Finally these teams are self-directed and execute according to a plan. The consequence of this dynamic is people that are truly engaged in the business of the organisation, supported to deliver exceptional results.
The EP Team Dynamic Program explores in depth the necessary requirements that need to exist and workshops the pathway for each team to reach the exceptional performance level.
The EP Team Dynamic Model
An EP Team Dynamic is made up of 13 core elements that must exist for the team to perform at the exceptional level. These elements sit within the 4 key constructs of
Alignment, Principles, Focus and
Execution.
EP Team Dynamic Questionnaire
The EP Team Dynamic Questionnaire is an online diagnostic tool that assesses how the team currently views the performance of themselves and their teammates across the 13 elements of an EP Team Dynamic. This tool is used to benchmark the current status of the team and highlights the areas of greatest need to raise the team performance.
