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!

As organizations transition to the agile environment, they must transition to an agile mindset.
This requires the definition of new roles, which can cause added confusion.
Unfortunately there is no concise definition of how to build an agile team and there tends to be a lot of debate over the traditional roles of the project manager and the business analyst, as well as other players on agile projects.
Organizations that maintain a traditional IT way of thinking on roles are likely putting their adoption of agile at risk.
Two questions that those new to agile usually ask are:
- What are the roles on an agile team? and …
- How do you organize an agile team?
This webinar addresses these questions by examining best practices in how to develop and maintain an agile team.
This webinar will also explore:
- Drawing lines from traditional titles to agile titles
- Staying focused on the agile manifesto and agile principles
- Focusing on building a team with skills that align with agile versus focusing on roles
- Defining components of a successful agile team and some core principles
- Getting good people and the importance of effective communication
- Adopting the agile mindset
