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 Teamabilityâ„¢
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!

Establishing a PMO (Project/Program/Portfolio Management Office) is considered to be a best practice approach to improving the value an organization can receive from its project investments.

Why is it then, that a study, conducted in 2005, of 750 organizations worldwide indicated that over 75% of organizations that set up a PMO shut it down within three years because it did not demonstrate any added value?

Solution Q invites you to attend a webinar where you will learn key reasons why so many PMOs fail, and gain some valuable knowledge of the critical success factors required to ensure the survival of your PMO.

Who should attend this webinar?
