Introduction

Introduction to Extra-Dependent Teams

This 1-Day program is a practical introduction to Extra-Dependent Teams, how they are different and why this matters.

The Need

Too often leaders decide their EDT team isn’t a team. Conventional solutions only provide an IDT solution. But making an EDT operate like an IDT can make things worse.

This Program

This unique program provides leading edge solutions to help leaders and teams find why they work the way they do, and how to develop to become a team to aspire to.

Testimonials

As a coach: "Broaden your perspective on teams and your repertoire for helping them." As a team member: "Look at yourself and your team through a different lens to unlock wider options for action."

"Start with an open mind about how teams can come together, build an understanding of a new team dynamic that doesn't have to be exclusive (but can be), and use this knowledge to develop the way you can think about team learning."

"This programme brings a new lens into how we might think about teams, and allows us to be more intentional about our practice in how we develop our teams. Would recommend to L&D/ OD practitioners as well as leaders within organisations."

"A well-run and thought provoking session. Well worth attending."
