TESTIMONIALS
The Rowland & Associates Approach
We adopt a coach-like, client-centric approach to all team development programmes we engage in. Each offsite is designed bespoke around a team’s specific development needs and desired outcomes. The process engages all team members from the design phase, through interviews or questionnaires, inviting open and honest feedback to understand individual team member’s perspectives and establish a clear view on where the team is now... and how team members define meaningful ‘success’ in 12 months’ time.
Once we’ve developed an understanding of the team’s ‘point of departure’, we draw on our extensive experience to design a broad outline for a 12-month programme. Typically, this will include a combination of team dinners, full day offsites, 1:1 coaching (for all team members or select individuals), profiling and/or 360° feedback, if relevant.
We introduce best practise frameworks and methodology as part of the first offsite, to provide a shared frame of reference and common language for the team.
We believe passionately in Nancy Kline’s ‘Thinking Environment’ concepts and introduce them to all teams we work with. We also strive to make each offsite dynamic, engaging, informative, highly practical and flexible, i.e. so we can stay responsive to the emerging and evolving needs of the team.
Our senior team development programmes are ultimately focused on improving team effectiveness, whatever the unique emphasis of each programme. Building trust is often of fundamental importance... and from that foundation, the programme can go anywhere!
