APM Event sponsored by the SWWE Branch on 8 September 2022. Speaker:Nick Fewings, Director of Ngagementworks APM’s research in 2015, Conditions for Project Success identifies competent teams as a key requirement. This was reinforced by the 2021 Dynamic Conditions for Project Success which additionally identified team ethos and interpersonal skills. So how do you develop a high performing team? Research suggests that only 10% of teams are high-performing, 50% are average and 40% dysfunctional. Nick Fewings, author of best-selling book, Team Lead Succeed, will share some of his insights into how to achieve high-performance teamwork, based on his 10 years’ experience of leading teams and 20 years facilitating team development with teams around the world. https://www.apm.org.uk/news/the-who-and-the-how-of-high-performance-teamwork/

UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIOURAL STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES
OF TEAM MEMBERS.

SKILLS OF OTHERS.

YOUR TEAM EXISTS TO DO, WHAT THAT ENABLES AND
THE BENEFITS.
#5. DON’T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP WHEN YOU FEEL YOUR
TEAMWORK COULD BE BETTER.
