Brandon Hall Group Releases Team Performance Maturity Model

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Brandon Hall Group, a preeminent research and analyst organization focused on empowering excellence in organizations, today announced its exclusive Team Performance Maturity Model, a valuable tool to drive business results through improvement of team management and productivity throughout an organization.

The Team Performance Maturity Model is part of Performance and Teams: A Team Maturity Model (https://membership.brandonhall.com/posts/666036-executive-summary-performance-and-teams) by Brandon Hall Group COO Rachel Cooke (http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=7982085&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=tas%3ARachel%20Cooke). The white paper analyzes team development research results published earlier this year. The model divides team maturity into five stages – Unpredictable, Enlightened, Focused, Structured and Optimized – and reports the percentage of the almost 800 survey respondents that are in each stage of maturity. Less than 1% of organizations are in the Optimized stage, and only 14.2% of organizations have teams mature enough to fit into the Structured Stage. Just under 30% of organizations were in the bottom two stages.

The white paper provides a High-Performance Teams Framework and the Team Performance Maturity Model, which analyzes each stage of maturity so organizations can assess their current state and use the guidance to chart a course of improvement.

The research also revealed that the impact of a dysfunctional team can negatively affect organizational productivity and quality by more than 76%, and that almost 80% of low-performing organizations (LPOs) and 62% of high-performing organizations (HPOs) aren’t investing enough time and money on team development.

"Our research on team development led us to a fascinating journey of how organizations are approaching team development and their levels of maturity as they develop, adopt and deploy programs to drive performance at not just the team level, but at the organizational level to drive true business results and impact," Rachel Cooke said. “Team development initiatives, when they are developed as part of a business strategy,  yield tremendous business results from improved culture and engagement, increased performance, productivity and quality, organizational and leadership capability, and much more."
