Where would new/additional teams deliver the best results?</p><p>&bull; Have we empowered members of staff to play a full role in self-managed teams?</p><p>&bull; How well do we support teams via rewards and recognition, IT systems, and training? (For newcomers: Do we have the systems in place to support teams once we introduce them?)</p><p>&bull; What are the barriers to effective teamwork in our company?

How can they be improved?</p><p>&bull; What can we learn from the previous successes and failures of teams in our organisation?</p><p>The Teams Audit has 12 detailed and scoreable self-assessment questionnaires as well as checklists, guidelines and framework questions to help you cut out altogether problems associated with:</p><p>&bull; Agreeing terms and definitions.</p><p>&bull; Developing measures that will work across all departments or core processes.</p><p>&bull; Getting the results accepted by all the teams involved.</p>
