Achieving high-performance teamwork
APM’s research in 2015, Conditions for Project Success identifies competent teams as a key requirement. This was reinforced by the 2021 Dynamic Conditions for Project Success which additionally identified team ethos and interpersonal skills. So how do you develop a high performing team? This event was held on 8 September 2022.
Research suggests that only 10% of teams are high-performing, 50% are average and 40% dysfunctional. Nick Fewings, author of best-selling book, Team Lead Succeed, shared some of his insights into how to achieve high-performance teamwork, based on his 10 years’ experience of leading teams and 20 years facilitating team development with teams around the world.
Nick has very kindly allowed his presented material to be made available for viewing.
The slides on Slideshare are now available in our APM resources area and also embedded below for reference.
Nick Fewings, Director of Ngagementworks
Nick calls himself a Teamologist, someone who specialises in the study of the dynamics of teamwork, using this knowledge, to help teams become more effective.
After a 20 year career in banking, working his way up from a cashier to a project leader, and finally a change director, Nick has spent two decades, developing teams across the globe, encouraging, facilitating, and helping them to make a positive difference to the effectiveness of their teamwork. During this period, he has profiled thousands of individuals across hundreds of teams.
Nick is also the creator of the Team DyNAmics Model that measures overall team effectiveness and effectiveness across 16 areas of teamwork, important in helping to achieve high-performance.
When not working with teams, he is also a highly regarded, award winning keynote conference speaker and to date, has spoken at over 500 conferences worldwide, including every branch of the APM, in the UK, some on more than one occasion.
This event is suitable for professionals with any level of experience.
Previous events and webinars can be viewed on the APM Slideshare and YouTube channels.
