About the Team Health Check (THC)
The THC is designed to create objective discussion about team performance. It helps you work out how well a team is working at the moment and identify the areas you want to address to move team performance to the next level. We noticed in our work that organisations invest significant time and effort in getting strategy right rategy and developing talented individuals. We recognised that key teams have a big impact on wider organisational performance. Yet h often how do we check out how they are doing? We created this model drawing on our experience of working with teams in organisations and on ng current thinking in this field. We then tested and refined our thinking with leaders. The model isn’t intended to be exhaustive – we’ve focu focused on factors we have found make the most difference.
What it doesn’t do...
The THC is designed to give you a structured method of analysing team effectiveness. Developing a team is not a ‘one-size fits all’ approach, so we do not advocate a fixed series of approaches to addr f address any gap in performance. That’s where further discussion with an experienced internal or external team development professional can help.
