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!

Performance Excellence Model

You’ve done a great job improving a process in one area of the business. In an ideal world, that successful process change would be adopted at all site locations.

But what usually happens next?

All too often, the answer to that question is, unfortunately,

“Not Much”

That’s not the case, though, at Avis Budget Group (ABG), a leading global provider of vehicle rental services. ABG utilizes a dedicated team of 90 PEX Leaders around the globe to improve and standardize the customer car rental experience.

This model uses projects that are replicated at multiple locations and is designed to enhance the customer experience.

• But how do they achieve that when they have over 30,000 employees and more than 10,000 rental locations?
• And why is project replication so important to the customer experience?

Join this lively and engaging webinar to find out!

In this webinar you will:

1. Understand why replicating projects matters to you and your company
2. Learn Avis Budget Group’s Replication Model for Performance Excellence and get ideas on how you can successfully apply the concepts to your organization
3. Hear more about the project development life cycle and the importance of validating original projects
4. Recognize the importance of sustainability and tools to ensure continued success

Presenter: Joe Hulseman (LinkedIn profile) Lean Six Sigma Master Black BeltAvis Budget Group has 25 years of Performance Excellence experience, last 5 years as with the Avis Budget Group in Parsippany, NJ.
