GET SUCCESS

The science behind
high-performing teams.

Our Fast Teaming Formula™, lauded by Industry experts such as Amy Edmonson, collates decades of team effectiveness and extreme teaming research, challenging conventional thinking to lay out a quicker route to build team effectiveness.

Further validated by analysis of data from 73 Team Up client teams, it evidences ‘a new paradigm’ where teams who build clarity (Set) are better positioned to cultivate psychological safety (Safe). The Fast Teaming Formula™ confirms that generating greater safety then paves the way for better autonomy, collaboration, respectful challenge and creativity (Strong), to ultimately drive better results (Success).

A compelling practical Formula to optimise team performance.

The Polaris Formula™

More Value from Meetings, Interactions and Conversations

Polaris Formula™ improves the speed and quality of any workplace meeting – formal or informal, in person, online or hybrid.

As it is derived from our Fast Teaming Formula™, it doesn’t just improve meetings, it also builds the team in ‘real time’, improves leadership impact, and supports culture change programmes.

    • Supports culture change programmes as it seamlessly maps onto any set of values and behaviours.

    • A long-lasting compass: it includes a built-in self-sustaining mechanism.

    • So powerful, we also train it as part of all three of our other Playbooks.

    • Scalable: we can train you to deliver the training.

A great way to train meeting dialogue. Simple enough to use, complicated enough to keep us interested.
