What can I do myself?

If you're a team leader or an HR person, there is quite a lot you can do to improve a team's performance. But there are some things that, unless you're a highly trained faciitator, may raise delicate issues, and lead to problems that you won't be able to handle.

How can I decide?

One way is to take the team.check questionnaire on this site. It will help you to think about your team's current capabiities and will flag up opportunities for improvement. Importantly, it gives a rating for each type of development challenge - 'low, medium, high and very high'. We stick to these conventions throughout the site.

Contact us! We'll happily talk to you and advise you free of charge.

Look at the checklist below. It grades some of the more common team and organisation development activities into degrees of difficulty. You may be able to attempt the low and medium unaided, but ask for help with the high and very highs!
