Organisational development based on the Dutch „Collaborative Scale”
teamwork model
The training will provide an understanding of how it happens that some individuals and teams work intensely together and others do not. Why is it that most groups and organisations are able to stay stuck for long periods of time in marasm while others polarise between conflict and synergistic action? How do we build commitment among people in an organisation? Those attending the training will learn a model for diagnosing team functioning (organisation, project, department, etc.). It will help to understand the behaviour of team members, to become aware of the directions these behaviours lead to: difficulties or opportunities? The training will provide practical experience that will be the basis for understanding the model of collaboration proposed by the Dutch experts.
Programme elements:
- Acquisition of knowledge of the group development concept, alternative to the most popular one – Tuckman’s /Forming (recognition), Getting along (conflict, dissatisfaction), Norming (integration), Collaborating (performance, maturity)/.
- Direct experience and understanding of the Collaboration Scale model
- To improve the understanding of the role of teams in the organisation and how they can better develop and collaborate in a good, qualitative way
- Gain experience in team activities
- Gain skills to use the Collaborative Model in the activities of their organisation, entity, team
- Developing the ability to design changes in the team
