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.â€
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!

- Has the adoption of Agile techniques magically erased risk from software projects?
- Or, Have we just changed how we recognize and manage risk?

Are You Suffering From Too Much To Do & Not Enough Time To Do It?
Research studies indicate that as much as 40-60% of our daily workdays is wasted due to unnecessary, unproductive interruptions.
In 2005 Basex research stated $588 billion is lost annually to interruptions and this number would increase by 12% per year if gone unchecked.
Managing projects requires a great deal of planning and time. But where does your time go?
In this webinar, you will learn about the source of your interruptions and the five time loss factors that steal your time away, how to stop them, and how to use the time recovered to increase your and your team’s productivity and efficiency.
Ask yourself the following:
- Are you often interrupted while trying to complete tasks?
- Who interrupts you the most? (selection external clients, internal clients, managers, colleagues, friends & family, other)
- On average, how many times a day are you interrupted?
- What is the average amount of time it takes you to resolve each interruption?
- Do time management issues and tough deadlines manifest in distress? Lack of self-esteem and Job dissatisfaction?
- Is it often difficult to know which tasks to work on and what the priorities are?
Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.
