Teamability^®:
The Ability To Connect With Others
To Form A Productive Team

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph,
But a team is greater than the sum of its parts.

Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes Magazine, recently wrote an article entitled “Teams Matter. Talent is Not Enough.”

In essence, it is a challenge for executives to find and exploit the ‘magic’ of team synergy.

The metrics of teaming now exist! Even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. Teaming metrics are key to improving selection, increasing engagement, and vastly reducing new-hire turnover, all with measurable business value.

With TGI Teamability:
PMs will be able to create extremely strong teams.

In this introduction you will learn:

• A completely new technology will help you understand why talented, experienced people do not always ‘team’ well with others.
• How to reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting,
  • Metrics and methods that measure and predict ‘teaming’ behaviors.
  • How to effectively analyze and solve team performance problems.
• How to deliver significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team
  • The ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams
  • Behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities
• How it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their ‘Role’).

This is a MUST TAKE opportunity to help you understand the strengths of your team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful!

SharePoint is everywhere, with some studies reporting as many as 78% of organizations currently using it.  When Microsoft released SharePoint 2007, it was the fastest software to ever hit $1B in sales, and that success has continued through the release of SharePoint 2010 and 2013.

SharePoint is easy to deploy, user friendly, and provides a “good enough” approach to developing a corporate intranet, providing document management for end users, and fostering team and social collaboration.

However, all that ease of use and adoption can make us forget that SharePoint is less like an Office product than it is an enterprise platform…yet most places treat it like Word or Excel.

Deploying SharePoint with little to no planning, training, requirements gathering, change management, or governance of any kind, with serious consequences:

• Long-term user dissatisfaction
• Low sustainability
• Less value for SharePoint investment
• Increased operational risk
• Increased compliance risk

In this web seminar, you’ll learn more about the challenges facing the development and use of SharePoint, as well as get an overview of a best practices approach to overcoming them.
