A prerequisite for a Next-Stage Organisation is a genuine desire to make a positive impact and have a fulfilled and thriving team, in addition to financial success.

This is essential for leaders, and ideally most of the team.

Applying the learnings and creating a new way of working together comes with challenges. For a successful outcome the desire for change must be strong enough to sustain the motivation to work through those challenges.

The TeamWeave Learning Programs and Coaching are suitable for teams of up to 30 people.

Applying the concepts to larger teams can be more complex. At this time, we do not offer coaching for larger teams due to the additional support this requires.

Feel free to email us if you have any questions—we’re happy to help.

TeamWeave Check-in, Foundations and Teal Learning Programs, and TeamWeave Coaching are designed for everyone in the team to participate, including leaders, owners, staff and board members. This shared learning experience enables your whole team to grow and learn together, without the need for separate internal training.

Our Learning Programs foster peer-to-peer learning and interaction, creating a rich environment where participants can make meaningful progress with a small time commitment each week.

 Since much of the learning comes through participant interaction we can keep costs low, making it affordable for entire teams to stay engaged for an extended time if required.

The TeamWeave Check-in and Introduction Learning Programs are designed so that many of the concepts can be applied by a single team within a larger organisation. TeamWeave Coaching is available to support such teams apply the concepts.

Teams within larger organisations often face the challenge of working with other departments that still operate using traditional “top down” approaches, and less open and authentic environments. How the team navigates this needs to be actively managed.

Starting with just one team can be a low-risk way for an organisation to explore becoming a Next-Stage Organisation. The team can experiment, learn, and identify what works well. People from that team can then help introduce TeamWeave practices to the rest of the organisation later on.

We do not recommend TeamWeave for government organisations at this time, even by individual teams. The structure and constraints typically present in government settings are not suited to this approach.

The TeamWeave Teal Program is suitable only for entire organisations. The concepts covered require full support and active participation from the organisation’s leadership. It is not suitable for isolated teams within organisations that are not already engaging with TeamWeave or not already working toward Teal or another next-stage model.

Have any questions? Feel free to contact us.

TeamWeave is perfectly suited to teams already working with Teal or other Next-Stage models.

The learning programs help everyone in the team to build the relevant skills and knowledge. Whether you have external coaching support, guidance from within your team, or both. The learning programs compliment this and will accelerate and enhance the outcomes.

If you do not have external support, TeamWeave Coaching can be a valuable compliment. The additional perspective and guidance can further accelerate and improve the outcomes for your team. It could be a little bit of coaching or a lot, whatever best serves your team and budget.

Tension and conflict exist in any team. A feature of Next-Stage Organisations is that they seek to understand and resolve those tensions, rather than control them with authority, or ignore them. They seek to create an environment where it is safe for people to speak openly about them and have a process to resolve them as best they can.

When done effectively this builds trust, connection and team cohesion, and keeps the tensions at a healthy and manageable level.

Such tensions will arise when applying TeamWeave learnings. The TeamWeave programs and Coaching give basic tools and skills to work through these.

However, deeper tensions and conflict in a team will often increase the amount of time and support required for a team to implement changes from the TeamWeave programs. If the tension and conflict is significant we may also recommend getting professional conflict resolution support. Such professionals are available in our Consultants and Trainers Directory.

We want our programs to be available for as many people as possible. However being mostly online, participation requires a moderate level of literacy and computer skills, and computer access.

If this is a barrier for some people in your team, we encourage you to find ways to bridge this gap. Here are some ideas:

• Coach people in how to register and use it;

• Someone read aloud pertinent content from the training;

• For people in the team unable to access or use the training, have in person group discussions about it, what people are learning and how it could be applied.

We would love for you to email us if you have other ideas for how to support people with this, to make TeamWeave more accessible to more people.
