Workgroup Execution Services

The Workgroup Execution Services are designed to work with one workgroup at a time to align strategy, operations and individuals around shared purpose.

We help you create teams of highly engaged people who collaborate and innovate to get the important things done.

Studies have shown that companies with low employee engagement scores underperform companies with more engaged employees by up to 1/3 in lower operating income.

We partner with you to unlock the potential of your workforce by engaging their hearts and minds in the shared purpose of your organization.

With the Workgroup Execution Services, teams and individuals see how their daily work connects to the strategic plan. There is increased thought leadership, and needed facts and feedback is provided to leaders, allowing them to make better strategic decisions for the organization.

Results happen as the team works in the following manners:

1) Planning

• Each group will define “what we will be good at” and how to measure it.
• Set priorities for the year and for the next quarter based on the strategic vision and change initiatives.
• Set targets and identify projects to improve measures.
• Update and revise plans in quarterly and weekly check-in meetings.

2) Check-Ins

• Individuals complete brief weekly check-ins.
• Group check-ins to identify at-risk projects and revise plans.
• Quarterly 1:1 check-in meetings with direct reports.
• Annual check-ins utilizing actual data from weekly/quarterly work and annual multi-rater feedback.

3) Leveraging Software

• Run effective meetings with clear agendas and assignment tracking within the software.
• Use functionality for goal-setting, plan building, tracking actions, monitoring project progress, and weekly, quarterly, and annual check-ins.
• Build and customize dashboards to manage key processes.
• Leverage real time communication.
• Mobile integration allows users to access and edit dashboard, projects, and actions from any location.

Benefits of Workgroup Execution Services:

• Well defined responsibilities for every worker
• High priority projects clearly identified
• Individual weekly check-ins provide real accountability and develop personal responsibility to get the important things done
• Build teamwork with weekly team meetings to catch issues early and commit people to action
• Quarterly 1:1’s between team leaders and team members help your managers coach rather than command
• Annual multi-rater feedback from peers and customers on how well individuals fulfill their responsibilities
• Annual check-ins pivot from performance review to long-term personal and professional development by using quarterly check-in data and multi-rater feedback

We can train and certify internal coaches from your organization to work with your workgroups. Our Advisors will train, mentor, and regularly (monthly) check-in with each internal coach.
