Team Chartering

As day-to-day pressures build and challenges arise, the charter serves as a map that keeps the team on course and focused on the end result.

Creating a team charter is one of the most powerful ways a team can make sure it is on the right track and that everyone is committed to the important work of the team. A team charter is a set of agreements that clearly states what the team wants to accomplish, why it is important, and how the team will work together. As day-to-day pressures build and challenges arise, the charter serves as a map that keeps the team on course and focused on the end result.

Why not take a step in the right direction? Using the chartering process, teams clarify their purpose and values, develop goals and strategies to accomplish their tasks, and create a contract that captures the common understanding. The Team Charter Process Kit includes a leader's guide and eight team member workbooks that can be completed in one to two days, or longer, depending on the complexity of the team's purpose.

A final section guides team members through the execution and distribution of a team charter that will drive momentum and keeps the team focused on results.

Sustainability

Sustainability describes the learning process and activities that need to occur before, during, and after training to ensure on-the-job application of new behaviors that are required to maximize the probability of achieving business results. There is a vital link between learning and development, your business issues and strategic goals, and accountability. It rests with having a sustainability strategy for turning learning into behavior.
