Our clients were two companies working together on a $50 million project requested by the US Department of Energy. The executive team was brought together as a result of a joint development program to develop emerging technologies. As with any leadership team, there was a need to develop cohesion and a common framework for successful new technology development. However, this team was made up of executives and technical leaders from two different organizations and the DOE stakeholders which required addressing additional issues, such as corporate culture and differences in communications styles. We assisted in building an effective strategic alliance team by: - Addressing the challenges and benefits facing joint development teams
- Identifying the traits of a successful joint development team
- Using objectives to define and clarify roles on the project
- Developing key skills and tools for success on joint development efforts, including communications skills, consensus building, problem solving, innovation and risk taking, and conflict resolution.
Breakthrough Results Leadership teams are evaluated on achieving breakthrough results. A leader requires different skills to understand how to build, develop and lead an executive leadership team. We work with our clients to understand the challenges of this role by providing feedback, self-awareness, and understanding the contributions of others to align their leadership team with the organizations' vision of the future. Raising the Bar Our clients tell us that our practical strategies allow them to reach new performance levels among their executive teams. Our easy ten question assessment allows executives to monitor their team's progress, leverage others' strengths, and exploit new opportunities quickly. Best of all, this can be built into an organization's performance management system to allow for maximum impact scalability and results. |  |
