Team Norms & Goals & Roles

What transforms a group of individuals into a cohesive team is a shared mission and aligned goals (e.g. OKRs). These collective objectives serve not only as guiding principles but also as a foundation upon which team dynamics flourish. By utilising a variety of tools and techniques, such as the Team Canvas, Role Canvas, OKR Team Canvas, Delegation Poker, Personal Maps, and other innovative methodologies. I facilitate an environment that encourages open communication and collaboration. Through these practices, I help establish clear team agreements that define roles, responsibilities, and expectations. This proactive approach is essential in preventing unspoken or hidden norms from creeping into the team’s culture and creating unnecessary friction or misunderstandings. Ultimately, a well-aligned team that actively embraces its mission is better positioned to achieve success together and adapt to challenges as they arise.

Product Teams: With my 15+ years of experience in Product Management I learned to value agile and outcome-focused product development. I guide product teams in adopting agile methodologies that prioritise continuous measurement, learning, and adaptation, ensuring your products meet market demands and drive customer satisfaction. Empower your team to innovate swiftly, respond to changes effectively, and achieve outstanding results.

Team Routines & Workflows

Drawing from Agile principles, I help teams establish effective daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly routines that enhance productivity and drive accountability. By leveraging these structured routines, teams can more easily track their progress, identify bottlenecks, and adjust their strategies as needed to meet their goals. I also support them in visualising workflows through various methodologies such as Kanban, Scrum, and Flight Levels, which not only clarify the steps involved in their processes but also foster transparency, focus, alignment, and collaboration among team members. This comprehensive approach ensures that everyone is on the same page, enabling teams to work more efficiently and deliver higher-quality results in a timely manner.

Team Reviews & Retros

A team can only become high-performing if it continuously learns and adapts, embracing a culture of growth and resilience. Through regular check-ins, comprehensive reviews, and thought-provoking retrospectives, I utilize a variety of techniques, including the Team Health Check, Agile Retrospectives, and Liberating Structures, to facilitate meaningful discussions and insights. These methodologies not only help teams reflect on their results but also encourage open communication, foster collaboration, and identify areas for improvement in their ways of working. By engaging in this reflective practice, teams gain a deeper understanding of their dynamics and workflows, which in turn drives innovation and enhances productivity. Ultimately, this ongoing commitment to self-improvement paves the way for sustained success and high performance.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Cross-functional product teams might become the new silos, if cross-team collaboration is not enabled. Cross-Team Collaboration is essential in fostering a cohesive work environment where diverse skills and perspectives come together to drive innovation and problem-solving. By breaking down silos and encouraging open communication, teams can leverage each other’s strengths to achieve shared goals more effectively. This collaboration not only enhances productivity but also creates a culture of mutual respect and understanding, allowing team members to learn from one another and grow both personally and professionally. Ultimately, strong cross-team collaboration results in a more agile organisation that can respond swiftly to challenges and capitalise on new opportunities as they arise.
