Tuning Up Your CIO Core Team
Developing your team’s role-type and character strengths
A top CIO team doesn’t just have to do a great job, it has to be perceived as doing a great job and that requires soft skills and a broader transformation. Starting with the CIO, every core team member has to understand his or her career track, where they are meeting their career aspirations and what further development they personally require to be individually effective AND play their part in the overall perception of top team performance. This bespoke development agenda then has to be delivered flexibly and with cost and time efficiency if it is to achieve results in the time available. This can be tough to do, and is often the reason performance perception problems are allowed to persist.
The team transformation service takes an holistic approach to your CIO core team. It enables you to ensure that you have a good mix of capabilities to build on your innate career strengths and to compensate for your weaknesses. It helps you to ensure that you have the soft skills you need in the team, particularly vision, resilience, persuasiveness, courage and commitment. It means you can rely on your team to interface with the most demanding of customers, the most challenging of suppliers and the most detailed of governance regimes. Not only will you have the right skills, you will have a self-aware team deployed effectively at all key points.
The service works with the outputs of The Full IT Executive Team Career Booster diagnostics to create a custom built programme that addresses your opportunities to create a more powerful, more accepted and more successful team. It incorporates development through individual coaching and team workshops, integrated with your current goal setting and performance management system. It is planned and delivered through 13-week delivery cycles with regular review points and the built-in flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances, personnel and requirements.
When the programme is complete you will have a core team that complements you, building on your strengths and powerfully engaging with your business in all critical areas. With this team you can engage in the higher, strategic discussions in your business, confident that your team is seen to be walking the talk, delivering high value service and engaging effectively with customers and suppliers. You will have justified your seat at the top table, and your involvement in the top-level debates.
