Results Require a Cohesive Team Engaged to Accomplish A Compelling Vision
It is about accomplishing something diverse team members realize they could do not do on their own.
We help teams build trust, productive conflict, commitment, accountability to maximize their results.
Solutions based on evidence work better. But SUCCESS requires a project team to rise together and turn the evidence into amazing results.
Clients often don’t realize they are doing team building as we work with them. They are too excited to apply what they learned as quickly as possible.
People Architects’ projects work because we dramatically improve teamwork even if our clients don’t consciously realize it is happening. We are human development experts. We focus on performance. Where specialists in other fields focus on what they know best, we realize that people are at the core of anything that works. It is not about knowing, it is about what people do with what they know. We help specialists make sure people do something with what they know.
This is at the core of being a PEOPLE Architect Leader.
“My dissertation research showed that most team building does not work. While people enjoy the experience, when measured just 4 weeks later, there is no improvement.
When I created Xpert Mapping™, one of the unexpected outcomes was the way teams dramatically improved their teamwork.
As I worked with project teams over months, the teamwork increase even more, rather than disappear as in my dissertation research.
If the goal is to improve teamwork, Xpert Mapping™ is a much better investment than any other team building approach I have ever seen. People don’t just have fun, they join forces around a common goal. Teamwork is not just have more fun with your colleagues, it is about making something exciting happen.”
When clients invest in us, their projects are complex. There are multiple stakeholders across multiple departments. When we map the end user job-to-be-done, there are usually about 20 stakeholders observing in the back of the room.
Map + Model + Design helps project teams to break down silos and rise together, across disciplines, to create remarkable solutions.
Our work is not just about creating shared understanding and a common vision. It’s about improving trust, pushing for productive conflict, increasing commitment, and creating accountability in a motivational manner with the team. Because People Architects is focused on team performance from our very first interaction with a client, we are different than other consultants. We combine the people factors with business improvement tools. Consultants who lack the education, training and professional expertise in human dynamics, simply cannot do this.
We create insights that people put into action and produce results with.
“Early on in my work I created some amazing reports. But nothing happened. It was very irritating. I redesigned how we did our work so our report binders don’t get filed on a bookshelf. Success is when people jump into action and do something important. They make a difference in the world.”
