Consultancy ServicesThe consultancy services I provide are based on an integrated set
of profiling tools sourced through Team Management Systems. Team management Systems (TMS) is an
Australian company that operates in 160 countries world wide. The TMS approach is used in 8 out of
10 top Australian companies. Organisations such as QANTAS, BHP Billiton, Johnson & Johnson,
Woolworths and the Defence Forces are numbered among its clients. We prefer to use TMS tools because it allows skill
development and comparisons with executives, leaders, managers and team members in similar
level positions across education as well as industry, commerce and the professions. Validity is
assured because of the depth of world wide research that backs the tools. Visit the TMS
website.
 People tend to practice what they prefer and therefore perform
better in those areas that match their work preference.
Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team, and
organizational performance. Team Management Systems' Team Management Profile Questionnaire (TMPQ)
is a 60-item assessment focused on enhancing understanding of an individual's approach to work.
Based on the responses to the TMPQ, the Personal Team Management Profile provides constructive,
work-based information outlining an individual's work preferences, based on the Team Management
Wheel, and the strengths that an individual brings to a team.
Through many years of experience, we've found that most teams
fail because they have no clear picture of where they are heading or how they will get
there.
Successful teams need clear expectations and a common purpose. They need open communication and
trust among team members. Individuals need to understand each other's differences and what each
person brings to the team that adds value. And team members need the right level of skills in
order to get the job done effectively, while being adequately rewarded for their efforts.
The Strategic Team Development Profile uses the High-Energy Teams Model to address eight
fundamental areas that all teams need to resolve, in order to perform effectively. The Profile
provides an accurate roadmap for the ongoing development of any team. It offers a quick,
reliable snapshot of the issues that matter for the group and the priorities the team needs to
address.
I use a proactive approach, presenting issues and skills to participants, then allowing them
the opportunity to embed those skills before assessing their effectiveness in the team
setting.
There's more to teaming than just hooking things up! Linking -
the integrating of people and work processes - is necessary to ensure high performance at
work.
Exclusive interviews with teams and team leaders throughout the world have highlighted common
elements responsible for integrating teams into a coherent 'whole'. These are the People
Linking Skills, the Task Linking Skills and the Leadership Linking Skills.
Team Management Systems has three multi-rater Linking Skills Profile Questionnaires (LSPQs)
that enable a number of different people to rate an individual's Linking Skills. The 36-item
Linking of People Profile Questionnaire is suitable for all team members; the 66-item Linking
of People and Tasks Profile Questionnaire is ideal for senior team members and the 78-item
Linking Leader Profile Questionnaire is designed for team leaders.
Again, I use a proactive approach, presenting issues and skills to participants, then allowing
them the opportunity to embed those skills before assessing their effectiveness in the team
setting.
Is your glass half-empty or half-full? This Profile looks at
people's approach to risk and determines the balance of effort put into seeing the
opportunities and obstacles at work. Some people have a higher risk acceptance than others
and may see only the opportunities, often ignoring the obstacles. Others may be risk
averse and see only the obstacles, ignoring the possibilities of new projects or ventures.
This Profile measures the five subscales of MTG Energy, Multi-Pathways, Optimism, Time
Focus and Fault-Finding and calculates an individual's Opportunities-Obstacles quotient
QO2™.
Again, I use a proactive approach, presenting issues and skills to participants, then allowing
them the opportunity to embed those skills before assessing their effectiveness in the team
setting.
Values have a major influence on how individuals approach their
work. The alignment between personal and organizational values can have a significant
effect on the behavior of individuals and teams. The Organizational Values Profile
Questionnaire is a 32-item profile questionnaire allowing individuals to rate their
perceptions of the core organizational value types, based on Dick McCann's Window on Work
Values. Profile feedback gives a work values hierarchy and, where applicable, key match
information on the alignment between personal and organizational values.
Again, I use a proactive approach, presenting issues and skills to participants, then allowing
them the opportunity to embed those skills before assessing their effectiveness in the team
setting.
Values have a major influence on how individuals approach
their work. Values drive our decisions, cause us to defend what we believe in and
determine our behavior at work. This Profile is based on Dick McCann's Window on Work
Values which describes eight core Value Types. The Window on Work Values Profile
Questionnaire is a 64-item questionnaire where individuals record those activities or
situations at work that they value. Profile feedback gives a work values hierarchy and
key information to help individuals understand how their values influence
behavior.
Again, I use a proactive approach, presenting issues and skills to participants, then
allowing them the opportunity to embed those skills before assessing their effectiveness in
the team setting.
