Aston Organisation Development

has pioneered the concept of Team Based Working – we exist to help organisations to create structures and cultures which improve performance through high levels of staff engagement. Our work is evidence-based, founded on the research of Professor Michael West and his colleagues.

We can help you to:

Assess and develop team effectiveness

Get an accurate assessment of the potential performance of individual teams and of your whole organisation by using our evidence-based diagnostic tools.

Use team development tools which have been designed by experts and recommended by practitioners in many organisations.

Design and implement effective strategies for improving organisational performance

Our experienced consultants have supported many organisations to create sustainable change through the implementation of Team Based Working.

On-going coaching for senior leaders enables strategies to become operational reality.

Train leaders and staff to implement and sustain effective team working

We can help you to develop in-house capacity by providing skills training for team coaches, team leaders and team facilitators. Our aim is to create sufficient expertise to develop the structures, processes and behaviours which will maintain high performing teams at all levels across your organisation.

Build individual and organisational resilience

Our Resilience workshops support individuals to improve their own resilience and to design environments which will enable team and organisational resilience.

We have over 10 years' experience of using our evidence-based Team Tools with all sorts of teams – including new or merging teams, multidisciplinary teams, integrated care teams, team leaders and coaches. We have specific expertise in working with NHS and social care organisations.

For further information, see our consultancy, training and tools pages. Our Library provides information about the evidence base for our work. To discuss consultancy and training requirements for your organisation, call 01252 727270 or email Lynn Markiewicz.
