PROJECT/PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Strategically align your people for maximum impact – optimise collaboration, adaptability, and efficiency across project teams.

Bridge the gap between perception and reality in team performance.

Success isn’t just about tracking KPI progress or meeting SLA commitments. It’s about how well your team collaborates, communicates, and adapt some pressure.

TeamEQ reveals hidden team dynamics, helped managers and their team streamline workflow, and improves your various performance indexes.

You can then optimise project execution by matching team perceptions with performance realities.

Actionable Insights to Boost Performance

Let’s go beyond static PMIS dashboards and deliver actionable intelligence that helps PM practitioners to:

🔹 Measure and benchmark collaboration, communication, and adaptability across multiple project teams.
🔹 Improve team alignment for fewer bottlenecks and inefficiencies. This ensures projects stay on track and within budget (EAC vs BAC).
🔹 Pinpoint strengths and weaknesses to ensure resources are invested in areas with the highest ROI.
🔹 Drive Continuous Improvement by tracking team progress and adjusting leadership strategies accordingly.

TeamEQ fits within multiple phases of the project life cycle but is most valuable in Initiation, Planning, and Execution. Here are 9 ways it aligns:

Initiation Phase

]

Assessing Team Alignment and Readiness (useful in EEF/SME)

Before a project starts, TeamEQ can identify internal and external team alignment, ensuring the right dynamics are in place for success.

]

Understanding Gaps and Challenges

Helps uncover blind spots, psychological safety concerns, or misalignments that could impact project success.

]

Get Stakeholder Buy-in (useful in OPA)

With data-driven insights, TeamEQ can align leadership and teams on expectations before the project begins.

Planning Phase

]

Optimising Team Composition

Using TeamEQ insights, teams can be structured based on collaboration styles, strengths, and potential friction points.

]

Risk Mitigation (useful in RAID)

Identifies potential bottlenecks in communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution before they impact execution.

]

Enhancing Project Roadmaps

By pinpointing gaps in innovation, adaptability, and trust, TeamEQ can inform strategies that reduce inefficiencies and improve coordination.

Execution Phase

]

Continuous Monitoring & Adjustment

As the project progresses, TeamEQ helps measure team effectiveness, communication quality, and engagement levels.

]

Identifying Course Corrections (useful for BCR)

If the project encounters challenges, TeamEQ’s real-time insights can guide interventions to realign the team.

]

Fostering High-Performance Culture

With applied improvisation techniques, it provides actionable solutions to keep the team in collaborative, problem-solving mode.

TeamEQ shifts project management from just process-oriented to people-oriented, ensuring that team dynamics don’t become a hidden obstacle to success.

TeamEQs Ensemble Approach.

What sets TeamEQ apart is our foundation in a century of applied improvisation (AIm) development. This equips teams with advanced problem-solving skills which help teams navigate complexity and ambiguity with ease.

Traditional PM has shifted from rigid, prescriptive planning (Maylor, 2001) to a behavioural and improvisational approach (Leybourne, 2007). AIm focuses on agile ensembles and remaining effective even when structures break down. Especially towards the end of projects, when bricolage becomes necessary due to exhausted budgets and looming deadlines.

AIm isn’t about abandoning structure – it’s about making things work with available resources rather than being constrained by predefined plans (Thayer, 1988). Teams can respond dynamically to emerging challenges (Dehlin, 2008) within the AIm framework.

Cost savings come from reducing or eliminating time waste and unnecessary meetings, and anticipating challenges before they escalate into costly risks, This future-proofs project teams, ensuring smoother execution and higher success rates.

Despite improvisation being widely used in PM, many fail to recognise it as a strategic tool. TeamEQ bridges this gap through empirical research and its proven competencies.

Research

The premise of the paper is that there has been an acknowledged shift within project management away from the traditional “plan-then execute” paradigm, toward an understanding that project-based work in today’s turbulent environments is intimately concerned with resolving challenging, ambiguous, and complex issues and requirements, often using a greater degree of “soft,” more behaviour-oriented skills.

Leybourne, Stephen A. (2/2011), ‘Improvisation and project management: what, when, and how’, Paper presented at PMI® Global Congress 2011—North America, Dallas, TX. Newtown Square, PA, https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/improvisation-project-management-6305′

A typo-free resume with the right buzzwords, experience, and a list of hard skills—such as user experience design or project management—are key determiners in helping a job seeker land an interview. But often what solidifies a job offer is the way in which the interviewee uses soft skills to connect with the prospective manager and co-workers—skills that are typically innate and untaught.
