Divisions and Teams

Addvantage 4U helps teams improve their business efficiency and results. Our scientifically researched and proven diagnostic assessment objectively analyses the internal and external factors affecting the delivery of the team’s results and provides prioritised recommendations for change. We then support the change management process, including the quantification of progress and impact.

Effective teams achieve:

  • Results the business requires
  • Customer loyalty and staff engagement
  • The change effectiveness, growth and sustainability the business needs
  • A climate of trust, respect, efficiency and performance
  • Team performance where the whole is greater than the sum of the individual team members

Teams function at three levels simultaneously:

  • Through individual members using their technical expertise and their relationships with other members
  • As a unit where the efficiency of key team processes is important
  • As part of a larger system where relationships and shared responsibility with other parts of the organisation matter

Our data shows that in over 80% of teams, there is no consensus between team members about team purpose, role, or the goals the team must achieve; nor is there alignment with the parent organisation’s strategic objectives.

“Addvantage 4U’s approach was tailored to meet the needs of our programme and quickly provided clear analysis and practical steps to enable effective exploitation of the transformation programme’s potential and to quantify its impact.”
