Real top team development does not occur in an artificial setting. While team “off-sites” or structured development interventions (e.g. psychometrics, team effectiveness workshops) can have a part to play, real team development must occur while the team conducts its real business of setting strategy and leading the business. We can assist with setting the team vision, purpose and ways of working. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/009593c4-6dc8-48f8-80d3-68630de787d4/driving+performance.jpg Team Development - Individual Executive Development Programme We identify each individual’s unique leadership characteristics through a deep psychological profiling process. This is then corroborated with a stakeholder feedback review, development planning and a 3-way session with the Line Manager or Board. Once all team members have had their assessment and feedback process, we would suggest starting with a two-day off-site with the goal to deepen trust, and collaboration through building a deep understanding of what each team member brings to the team, both their strengths and where they might need support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/009593c4-6dc8-48f8-80d3-68630de787d4/driving+performance.jpg Team Development - Team Offsite Many teams find themselves held hostage to a schedule of presentations which take up much of their time together, with insufficient time alone to grapple with the real elephants in the room. Great teams manage conflict actively and constructively and work together so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Built on our high performing team model and a reframing of Lencioni’s work we accelerate team cohesion and dynamics. Our offsites are designed and framed around getting to know each other, building trust and support while linking individual development and team dynamics to the real work of the team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/9c18b621-966b-4e77-b4a0-140e46a22694/team+stakeholder+feedback.jpg Team Development - Linking Team Development with Organisational strategy Team development for the year ahead is co-designed and aligned to individual and team development while linked to organisational strategy. We focus team performance interventions on delivering organisational objectives and link it to the real work the team is doing. To really understand the issues in a senior team and link development to achieving organisational objectives, it is necessary to observe them working together and grappling with the real issues. We provide ongoing feedback, facilitate necessary conversations to overcome roadblocks and execute a mixture of in work and off-site sessions of differing lengths. https://www.divergentandco.com/about-us daily 0.75 2024-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/5d0a1b17-396c-4593-87b5-f9f2651bf3ed/Mercurydownload.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/d26c63a4-24f4-4b96-9d34-2e31d847301b/Kiwibank_Logo.svg.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/8b843b25-15db-4d21-87e6-0b83bd5a0d0d/NZ-Post-New-Logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/94569cda-0dbc-4958-85a6-0012e94de824/bnzlogo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/e032d5cf-84c1-4717-aa57-730b8808eb13/waka-kotahi-logo-small.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/d52b83c4-2cf6-4e87-af05-bf24d1fc17a7/City+Care+download.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/2ee13c34-fe73-477d-8596-df89044a2380/Fletcher+Building.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/58d95dea-af50-462f-903b-8af51294ff24/Fonterradownload.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/eee501f0-fdbf-4152-9e11-ec42f310cbcc/Chorusimages.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/3d5711c6-e1d4-434d-9673-c1651328f68e/Panuku.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/01897d64-7a85-426f-b271-e13897ffebcf/vector-bluecurrent-logo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/1663194567996-BQJAS41XKBE2X34BKQ8E/Paul+photo.JPG About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/1663194618788-PNK3DNKGGTDSCA55J5VS/Faye+Luxton.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/1663195000090-0F3A0Q96WC68ERXC305J/DC+Website+Anna.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/1663196011756-5GWZZCUEHRPNAWJGXGMK/Matt+Hutchinson+2.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/1663195133898-CY5CZLC2LBXODESYZ4KA/DC+Website+Fiona.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/1663196062400-EXCZP6I2RTT43Z2IJB7M/Rob+Ngamanu.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/ffce548f-498a-42e9-b102-a81719965580/Jo+photo.JPG About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/c0314f78-8d3d-4828-8351-d2e789650c0a/Mark+Hutchinson+-+Labour+Party+Profile+-+May+11+2023_16+RESIZED.jpg About Us https://www.divergentandco.com/work-with-us daily 0.75 2023-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/57ab2a41-b1d6-4e9d-8303-9c70bf31e8e5/Mark+Hutchinson+-+Labour+Party+Profile+-+May+11+2023_16+RESIZED.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279d346deea705d6ae7b2ef/019cb19c-0274-4455-bd17-8b41303863c2/work+with+us+assoc.jpg Work with Us - Associates Divergent & Co is always looking for exceptional candidates to join our Associates contracting team to support our Director in delivering high quality individual assessment and development interventions to CEO’s and senior leaders.
