TeamMARK accreditation
Learn to use TeamMARK, the most sophisticated diagnostic tool available for teams.
What does TeamMARK do?
TeamMARK helps teams to develop relationships that drive performance.
How does it do that?
A. It focuses attention on the shared beliefs that drive motivation and behaviour in the team (so called team dynamics).
How does that work?
Motivation and behaviour in a team is significantly affected by what team members believe it means to be a part of the team; their shared expectations of each other. This effect is much more significant than most people understand and has quite predictable effects on the dynamics of relationships. TeamMARK gives teams information about which beliefs they need to develop or modify to change dynamics to become more fulfilling and better performing.

Advanced Facilitation
What is it?
A 4-day course for experienced facilitators who want to develop the skill and confidence to work with more demanding teams.
What will I learn?
On the course you will learn to:
- Facilitate teams that are very high value, such as senior management teams.
- Work with teams that are trapped by personal conflicts.
- Handle cynicism and resistance to change, including resistance to the work that you are doing.
- Improve collaborative decision-making and ensure commitment to decisions once made.
- Increase a team’s capability to problem solve and innovate.
- Deal with politics and in-fighting.
How does it work?
The course combines an in-depth understanding of team dynamics drawn from Teamship de-railers theory, interpretative approaches and interventions taken from systemic family therapy and advanced Group Process Consultation skills
Who is it for?
This is an advanced course suitable for people who have already developed basic facilitation skills. Ideally you will have access to a team that needs facilitation so that you can work with real issues during the training.
