Team performance is most often predicated on effectively managing interdependent functions and needs in pursuit of identified strategic goals. The Task Oriented Team Development process involves the learning and application of competencies through group tasks that are discerned through an interview and assessment process.

The competencies for high performing teams require clarity on four assessed levels (mission and goal, role and responsibilities, information and procedures, and interpersonal styles). Practice of team behavioral competencies is highlighted as the team works on identified work products and strategic dialogue.

Each participant receives individual assessment on their thinking style to be presented in aggregate data to the whole group as a stimulus for constructive appraisal. All programs include follow-up activities that are designed to evaluate progress on agreed upon improvement measures.
