Action Profile #6: Utilizing the HBDI to Build Team Effectiveness

Scenario: A Fortune 50 firm wanted to kick off their operating year with a series of ‘team building’ events designed to enhance the effectiveness of their functional and operational leaders and their teams. Each individual team committed to spending a day together focused on improving their ability to work together. The company was cautious that the ‘team building’ event had to deliver substance, not fluff. In other words, the end result had to be steeped in business application which would drive appropriate behaviors relevant in the business community.    

Response: Incite Strategies created, launched and delivered a series of one-day HBDI Team Effectiveness workshops with these groups. The dialogue which ensued was critical to optimizing team performance as the relevance of each individual to the overall group effectiveness became heightened. 

Proposition: Could a team building event be created that would receive an overwhelming response from each participant as being an incredibly valuable use of time – a day that would surely change the way the group worked together and certainly impact their effectiveness immediately?

Action:  Incite Strategies worked with each group to drive a dialogue and increase awareness about the preferences of each individual on the team, as well as provided tremendous insights into the biases and preferences of the team as they worked together collectively. The feedback was tremendous. Not only was there an immediate impact on each individual's performance, but also on the overall ability of the team to work together, make decisions, drive change, and contribute to the bottom line.
