Extraordinary results
Extraordinary results come from high performance teams. Whatever type of business you are in, you can achieve more and go further if you can turn your teams into high performance teams. What enables a team to become “high performance”? Surprisingly, most good leaders already know. The challenge is that even though we know what these things are, it can be hard to do them well - without good tool support.
Teams is an app being developed that helps you do these important things to help your teams to become high-performance.
Our app helps you do the following 5 things which are common to all high-performance teams:
Clear goals and targets
Setting clear goals and targets for each team and team member and link them to organisational goals, and then track progress towards these goals.
Quality Communication
Communicate in the form of short videos with indicators of who has received the message and who has reviewed the message (and who hasn't).
Fast feedback loops
Create feedback loops such as identifying and resolving issues that hinder the team, managing suggestions for continuous improvement and capturing sentiment feedback on team health.
The right skills
Make sure you have the right skills in place by keeping track of what skills your team needs and whether they have valid (unexpired) certifications (or licences) in place.
Clear operating procedures
Define clear operating procedures in written and video form that everyone in the team can access in a self-serve way, thereby capturing “how you do business”.
Why invest in building high performance teams?
High performance teams are the difference between a good business and a great business. Sometimes people say that it is all in the “execution”.
Great execution brings many benefits, such as:
- Improved safety and compliance
- Improved customer satisfaction
- Improved productivity
- Improved quality of work
- Improved accountability
- Improved communication and teamwork
- Improved ability to track and manage team member / employee data
- Enhanced innovation through having a collaborative environment
- Higher employee satisfaction and retention
- Continuous improvement through better feedback
These 5 high-performance factors well lead to a broad array of benefits that will help any organisation reach its goals. These factors are not a secret, nor are they difficult concepts. But they are hard to do well in the modern working environment due to the pressures of time and workloads. With a little support from software, anyone can do these things and in doing so evolve their team towards being a high-performance team. Teams is such a tool that can help you do these 5 things that every high-performance team does exceptionally well.
