Teams and organizations often face these challenges when their teams are not aligned:
- Missed Opportunities
- Communication Breakdowns
- Inefficiencies and redundancies
- Conflicts within the team.
- Low Morale
Our approach to aligning teams is measurable, utilizing David Clutterbuck’s PERILL team assessment. This comprehensive tool allows us to track and improve the six key areas that make up an effective team.
Six Focus Areas for Team Development
The PERILL model is a framework developed by David Clutterbuck to assess and enhance team performance. It consists of six interrelated areas:
-
Purpose and Motivation: This pillar focuses on the team's shared purpose, understanding of goals, and commitment to achieving them. It also considers the team's motivation, including individual aspirations and the alignment of personal goals with team objectives.
-
External Processes, Systems, and Structures: This pillar examines the external factors that influence the team's performance, such as organizational culture, leadership style, and resources provided. It assesses how these external elements support or hinder the team's ability to succeed.
-
Relationships: This pillar explores the interpersonal dynamics within the team, including communication patterns, trust, respect, and conflict resolution skills. It evaluates the strength of team relationships and their impact on collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving.
-
Internal Processes, Systems, and Structures: This pillar focuses on the team's internal processes, such as decision-making, task management, and information sharing. It assesses how effectively the team utilizes these processes to achieve its goals and maintain efficiency.
-
Learning: This pillar explores the team's capacity for learning and adapting to change. It evaluates the team's willingness to embrace new ideas, experiment with different approaches, and incorporate feedback into its practices.
-
Leadership: This pillar examines the leadership dynamics within the team, including the roles and responsibilities of team members, the distribution of power, and the team's ability to self-manage. It assesses how leadership is exercised to enhance team performance and foster a positive work environment.
When teams are more aligned, you can expect:
- Optimized Business Performance: Teams are better positioned to drive business results.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Improved alignment fosters stronger collaboration.
- Increased Innovation: Aligned teams are more innovative and adaptable.
- Boosted Team Morale: Morale and job satisfaction rise when teams work cohesively.
