“Team Coaching” as an under-explored and under-developed niche area within the larger field of business and executive coaching.  Peters and Carr (2013) state that: “Team coaching is distinct from individual coaching because in team coaching, the team as a whole is the client and collective performance is the goal, versus the individual focus of one-on-one coaching.” In a recent study of more than 7,000 organizations, Deloitte Consulting found that: 92% of companies reported that their organizational design was ill equipped for competing in the digital era.  Furthermore, only 14% reported knowing how to respond. However, the emerging answer appears to be structuring the company as a "network of small, nimble teams that work in agile and iterative ways."  In this dynamic and interactive presentation, participants will explore how team coaching can help companies make the important shift to this new team-based way of working that challenges the predominant 100+ year old model of "scaling for efficiency" to an emerging model of "scaling to learn." 

Team coaching is distinct from team training or team building.  While team coaching may incorporate training and team building as part of its process, what differentiates team coaching is that the team coach provides a supportive context to both support and challenge a group to grow and increase performance over time. Team coaching is more of a process that can lead to sustainable change and performance at the group level in much the same way that one-to-one coaching affects such change at the individual level.
