I recently had the pleasure of working with a group of over 60 Masters of HRM students at one of Australia’s leading university, the Queensland University of Technology.

TMS has had a long association with Masters Programmes at QUT and this year we are working for the first time in their Leadership and Executive Coaching subject.
 

Our latest edition of the TMS E-Learning Journal has a focus on leadership. Five well known authors have contributed great articles on leadership concepts that are often overlooked or misunderstood. Check out Edition 91 of our bi-monthly e-journal.

TMS Co-Author, Dr Charles Margerison, describes what Team Management Systems is and how the TMS concepts have helped some of his most memorable clients deliver great results.
 

The other day, a facilitator asked about an alternative exercise to the Chris and Pat role play. A few learners in the group had received their TMPs about a year ago and they had used this dialogue between a Creator-Innovator and a Concluder-Producer in their earlier training. They wanted to re-focus on communication, building on what they already knew to go deeper, and where looking for options.
 
The activity we chatted about is a similar case study scenario, however, instead of being based on a discussion between two people, it is based on two emails sent from two different people about the same organisational problem (and doesn’t require a role play).

Challenge

We recently caught up with Paula Marcondes at the Asia Pacific Coaching Conference 2012 to learn how she is using the TMS suite of Profiles to build resilient teams and organisations.

The last few months have been busy ones as we took the TMS show on the road by presenting and showcasing the TMS Profiles at a number of industry conferences and events.

In September and October 2012, TMS hosted four complimentary forums for the organisational development community Australia wide. The purpose of these forums was to facilitate a TMS community of practice and to collect techniques and tips on how organisations can do more with less in the current, tough economic times.

Many insightful tips were generated from the forum discussions. The salient tips most commonly agreed upon, across all forums nationally, were:

Your teams love the Team Management Profile (TMP), but how can you gain more from the TMP?

The latest enhancements to the TMP provide learners with their own personal online activity centre, giving them access to interactive activities, instant snapshot data on work priorities and special videos. All these extra advanced features ensure learners get the most out of their TMP.
