Consulting

Founded in 1997, The Table Group began as a boutique consulting firm focusing on CEO's and their executive teams. Over the years, The Table Group has expanded its service offerings, but continues to remain true to its consulting foundation. Pat Lencioni, Jeff Gibson, our V.P. Consulting, and our Principal Consultants provide a variety of services to a wide range of clients in just about every industry imaginable. Every situation is unique and our consultants customize all their work to tailor each client's particular needs. Consulting sessions draw upon many of Lencioni's models, capsulized in his new release, The Advantage.

The offerings most commonly performed by our consultants include:

Two–day Leadership Team Off–site

Who: Leadership/executive team

What: The hallmark of Table Group Consulting is a two–day off–site intended for an intact leadership team.

Outcome: Consultants will rapidly dive into the four disciplines of a healthy organization found in The Advantage and the team model originated in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team to provoke improvement in team clarity and cohesiveness. This off–site is the starting point for those clients committed to a broader organizational transformation.

Ongoing Team and Leader Coaching

Who: Leadership team/next layer of management

What: As a follow–up to our initial two–day off–site, Table Group Consultants work with teams over time to continue progress and improvement. While the approach will vary by client need, it will usually involve some combination of one–on–one coaching, meeting facilitation/observation, and strategic off-site planning and facilitation.

Outcome: Continued effort to embed organizational health concepts and practices throughout the company.

TEAMinar

Who: Several intact teams

What: This seminar allows a number of teams to experience our material simultaneously. The teams will be exposed to the content as a group then break into consultant–led focused discussions.

Outcome: Several teams in an organization hear the same message and work on teamwork together creating shared momentum.

Organizational Roll–out

Who: The entire organization

What: Consulting plays an integral role in an organizational–wide effort. A consultant will manage this multi–tiered effort and utilize a combination of products and services, potentially including: a launch event with Patrick Lencioni, two–day leadership team off–site, on going consulting, training, integration of Table Group products, and train–the–trainer sessions.

Outcome: Multi–tiered on–going effort to ensure organizational health is developed and sustained throughout an organization.

To bring about organization-wide change, our consultants provide training sessions to groups of managers who want to become better leaders. Training sessions are designed to equip managers with practical knowledge, tools and an action plan designed to yield rapid, meaningful change.

Transform Your Team

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team training sessions teach managers the skills, disciplines and requirements for effective teamwork. With several different training formats available, managers will leave a training session with the skills necessary for effective team leadership. Options include:

This half-day workshop will introduce managers to the Five Dysfunctions model and exercises. Participants will leave with several quick, effective tools designed to jumpstart team effectiveness.

Managers will experience a series of short interactive lectures and table discussions designed to challenge them in their leadership role. Each participant will take a team assessment identifying strengths and areas of improvement for their team, as well as learning specific exercises to address their team's needs.

Beyond learning models, principles, and tools, this hands on session teaches managers how to lead their own teams through the Five Dysfunctions material. Managers will learn how to facilitate a Five Dysfunctions offsite and lead discussions that will ultimately transform their team.
