employee and team development - Proventive Solutions

Employee and Team Role Development

Proventive Solutions uses a Systems Thinking (ST) approach to both employee and team development. In particular the use of a Human Activity System (HAS).

In the Generic Role HAS model, key components of an employee and team role are outlined and integrated into a Human Activity system (HAS). This then allows for the key components not only to be identified but the way they relate and interact to be understood.

Employee development can be applied to life transitions, such as promotions, and focuses on identifying and developing what is required in a (new) role as well as those aspects from previous role(s) that should be left behind.

Team development can be applied to improve the performance of an existing and new teams, groups, or project members.

Looking Inside a Generic Role HAS - The Components:

Beliefs
are viewed as reflecting the paradigm (way of thinking) that drives both how and what Functional Competencies are applied, and how an employee or team Behaves. These beliefs can either complement the organisation's cultural values or differ but how they relate to cultural values may also need to be considered.

A Narrative Coaching approach can be used to explore and develop underpinning values and needs used and develop alteratives that could improve performance.

Functional Competencies
such as technical knowledge and skills may also be an area requiring development to progress from a competency to a capability level (master level). Organisations, to be capable and agile need to draw on capable employees and teams, and this includes access to and application of what is termed "deep smarts".

Behavioural Competencies
refers the application and relevance of issues such as Leadership Style, Work Style, and Team Development.

As there is a wide range of training methodologies to optimise learning these are not covered here.

However, Proventive Solutions promotes the use of feedback tools in developing employees, teams, and leaders in their roles.

In this respect Proventive Solutions is qualified in, and recommends, the use of Team Management Systems (TMS) Profiles. Refer to additional information provided on this page.

Role Purpose (including any targets and standards)
define the intent of role.

There are a number of ways of capturing what is sought of a role for development purposes, including aligning the role with the capability sought at different "capability levels" within organisations. Part of a Capability Level Table is exampled.
