Empower High-Performing Teams with the Foundation to Thrive
The velocity in today’s technologically-driven marketplace creates so much uncertainty that many teams are often not equipped to solve the complex, changing problems they face. To combat this disruption, high-performing teams are driven by a common Purpose, and they continuously work together to create an environment of Clarity and Psychological Safety. This foundation can help teams better align and collaborate more effectively in agile environments.
Our new, solution-first High Performing Teams: Building The Foundation workshop provides a complete 8-hour framework with the tools to drive awareness, action, and enhance how your teams work together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to be Birkman Certified to use the High-Performing Teams: Building the Foundation workshop?
A: High-Performing Teams: Building the Foundation is a turn-key solution that does not require Birkman Signature Certification or traditional Birkman training. A comprehensive facilitator guide is included in the workshop for ease of implementation, which includes all of the information and steps needed for anyone from an HR professional to a team leader to run a successful workshop. For best results and maximum comfort with the materials, we recommend the facilitator guide be reviewed in full prior to the workshop session.
Q: My team does not have a full day to allocate to a workshop. Can we still do it?
A: Yes! This workshop is an 8-hour instructor-led session that can be performed in one full day or as a multi-session workshop. Because the workshop is divided into several distinct sections, teams can choose to divide these sections in a way that best aligns with their schedules, such as two four-hour sessions or even one hour at a time over the course of 8 weeks.
Q: Can virtual teams participate in this workshop?
A: Yes! Virtual teams can participate in this workshop online through your choice of remote conferencing services. The workshop is specifically designed for intact teams, so as long as it is an intact team, the discussions and activities will pertain to teams who work both face-to-face and in-person. While the workshop does not specifically address virtual teams, the three core pillars of high-performing teams are vital to every type of team.
