Team Effectiveness

Enact’s proprietary team effectiveness model identifies the four critical domains of team success:  Charter, Capability, Collaboration, and Culture (The 4 C’s™). The model serves as an architecture to guide team development over time.  Within each domain, we offer a set of diagnostics and a menu of actions/improvements for teams to work from.

We engage teams in dialogue and discovery sessions regarding their effectiveness in each of the four areas and create implementation plans and roadmaps to facilitate improvement. 

The tool and process are designed to simultaneously support a collective inquiry into team effectiveness as well as to help team members individually identify how they are enabling or inhibiting team success. 

Assessment Tools

360° Feedback
Enact has designed several multi-rater tools to support leadership, management and individual contributor development. The tools are created around a capability architecture that has been thoroughly researched and tested.  The instrument can be customized for each client organization.

Facilitation Skills
Facilitation skills are becoming increasingly important for everyone in today’s business environment.  Our assessment tool provides an honest self-appraisal regarding the necessary skills for facilitation techniques in team or cross-functional meetings, training settings, project meetings, etc. The assessment is often used as a lead-in to our facilitation skills training programs.

Communication Skills
We provide our clients with several customized communication skills instruments that help them identify areas to improve and strengths to leverage.  One self-assessment tool is based on our EAR™ model of optimal communication when coaching or providing feedback:  Explore/Reflect, Acknowledge, and Recommend. Another tool leverages our PAVE™ framework that outlines the four key domains of communicating for results in a company, project, team, or partnership.  The domains are:  Process, Approach, Values and Expertise.  These assessments can be embedded in team off sites, planning meetings, team-building sessions, and/or communication training sessions.

Coaching Skills
Based on extensive field work and research, Enact has developed a state of the art coaching skills assessment instrument.  The instrument focuses on the role of coach and the behaviors required:  inspire others by unlocking their potential, energize others by broadening their horizons, and facilitate growth in others through inquiry.  The coaching instrument can be used individually as a stand-alone assessment tool or in the context of a development program focused on increasing managers’/leaders’ coaching skills.
