TDS™ Team Effectiveness Framework
The TDS™ Framework starts by identifying the 6 conditions that create an ecosystem that gives rise to team effectiveness. The 6 conditions are divided into 2 groups each with 3 conditions each:
1) The Essentials – these are foundational conditions that are most critical to get right first and include:
- Real Team
- Compelling Purpose
- Right People
2) The Enablers – these act as accelerants that propel the team forward and include:
- Sound Structure
- Supportive Context
- Team Coaching
The TDS doesn’t stop there. It then shows how these 6 conditions influence a team’s Key Task Processes (Effort, Strategy, and Knowledge & Skill) and ultimately Team Effectiveness (Task Performance, Quality of Group Process and Member Satisfaction).
