Our culture creation service sees the establishment of team culture via the development of vision, values and behaviours; in essence giving teams a sense of ‘how our team works’. This also enables the team to understand and agree on a set of behaviours that are acceptable or ‘above the line’ with regard to how they treat one another and other teams or departments within your business. This can be a useful proactive activity for new teams, or for use in a remedial setting when teams need to optimise how they work together.

Teams perform most effectively with quality leadership and the clear sense of plan, with actionable items that they can be held accountable for. Similar to strategic planning, yet on an operational level our team planning services support business to ensure that teams deliver what is expected of them and that their outcomes are aligned to the overarching organisational objectives. On Sixth can assist you with the facilitation of planning days and provide quality action plans at the conclusion of your session, ripe for implementation. These days are ideally run on a bi-annual basis to allow for an intensive planning session and then a session to assess progress and tweak the plan as required.

On Sixth holds a strong belief that team building is not about go-karting or heading out for a lunch. These are team bonding activities, for teams that are highly effective and generally enjoy each others company. But let’s face it, people don’t always get along so when we think about ‘real’ team building, we consider innovative and fun methods of bringing people together to achieve common goals. This also includes enhancing their understanding of how they can work together more effectively and kick some goals as a team. Team building generally works best with a half or full day as this allows for activities and discussion regarding how the team learning can be applied. Team profiling could also be used to scientifically examine how the team works together.

On Sixth use a variety of evidence based, psychometric tools that are useful for individual work, team building and for team profiling. Whether it’s the exploration of a newly formed team on ‘how we work’, or a senior leadership team examining how they can derail one another, we will help you determine which assessment will most effectively help you to achieve your aims. We then facilitate challenging and engaging workshops designed to enhance the team’s understanding of how they can optimise their performance.
