Team Development in Köln: team consulting and team coaching

Teams are usually made up of highly diverse people. And that is a good thing: because the true strengths of teams are not found in what they have in common, but above all in their differences – if these are used productively.

For differences to become productive, there need to be processes of reflection, clarification and effective leadership. We give teams and leaders the tools to work together more efficiently and literally understand each other better.

How do we do that?

When working on the topics, we use a broad repertoire of methodologies from systemic approaches, motivation theory, training elements and individual coaching.

Typical phases of our Team Development workshops are:

01

gathering topics and challenges (often in advance)

02

prioritising the most important issues

03

Theory input

04

making the discussion and the differing views and perspectives of all participants visible ("Action Learning" – approach)

05

developing workable solutions for each topic area

06

Clear agreements and "to-dos": who | does what | by when

Typical topics of Team Development - a few examples

  • Developing common goals
  • Clarifying responsibilities
  • Defining and adhering to procedures in the team 
  • Optimising decision-making processes
  • Improving communication: theory and practice
  • Insight into communication techniques: constructive communication
  • Non-violent communication (Marshall Rosenberg)
  • Uncovering and defusing conflicts
  • Team theory: phases of Team Development (theory) – recognising conflict as an opportunity for growth
  • Setting values and team rules
  • Making the needs and values behind conflicts visible and recognising them
  • Needs and their importance
  • Giving appreciative feedback
  • Recognising and valuing personal strengths & roles in the team
  • Recognising and valuing the strengths, resources and roles of individual team members
  • Increasing the sense of togetherness
  • Getting to know each other better
  • Increasing the problem-solving skills & well-being of team members

Team Development online and in person

We also run our Team Development workshops, seminars and training courses online/virtually without any loss of quality. With our proven online methods we reach every goal agreed in advance, at the highest quality.

  • The team is re-focused on its goals and tasks.
  • Tasks and responsibilities are clear.
  • Internal processes, communication structures and interfaces are defined and optimised.
  • The team has a shared sense of identity and acts on a shared foundation of common values.
  • Conflicts have been addressed and resolved.
  • Tensions and frictions can be talked about and the team can resolve them on its own.
