The cost of confusion & lack of clarity in Underperforming Teams
It's not your fault, or your team members'- something mysterious happens in the team dynamics when people come together to try and achieve something together!
So much time is wasted by needlessly seeking approval or
agreement
And have painful meetings with inefficient decision-making and no clear outcomes?
So much frustration is caused from not knowing what you and others and do and decide and expect
from each other
It shouldn't be like this
Too many people suffer from it.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It's not Rocket Science.
It's simple to fix if you know how, and have the right tools.
I've done my time suffering from it & decided to find a better way
Later, I felt burdened in leadership positions by others checking too much with me when they didn't need to.
So, I explored flatter, more collaborative ways of working. This was great for getting buy-in and hearing more perspectives, but it took too long.
There just had to be a better way, so I researched and experimented with many different ways of running teams.
I've spent over 25 years searching for it
I have curated and organised my learnings from over 25 years of study (including an MSc in Management Development), research, experimentation, practice, training and consulting using state of the art Social Technologies; including:
- Holacracy for Self-Managing Teams to organise work into roles and projects
- Matrix Leadership for psychological safety and healthy relationships
- The STAGES model of adult development to support people along a transformational journey
All into an easily accessible set of step-by-step online programs for teams to follow.
There is a Simple Way Out
3 Steps to Team Clarity & Faster Decision-Making in 3 months Online Program Program Outline
How it works
It's a Team Program- so all team members go through online materials and do activities to help the learning stick.
Some activities are done individually, some together in team sessions.
1 or 2 team members are assigned as Course Leads, who lead the team through the program and may attend weekly, optional Coaching sessions.
Weekly coaching sessions are held with a cohort of course leads from other organisations so that they can learn from each other.
There are 2 ways to take the program:
- Course Leads join a cohort with Leads from other organisations to go through the program together.
- Or, we occasionally make exceptions to take one organisation exclusively through the program with its own dedicated sessions.
An Evolving Organisation Trainer leads the Weekly Coaching sessions for Course Leads. We occasionally have other coaches shadow the sessions to learn how to deliver this program. They normally stay out of the way, in the background, as observers, and they sometimes offer additional perspectives.
What people are saying
Nick was a God-send. I can't imagine anyone who would answer our questions more clearly and promptly, or who would guide our meetings with more expertise as well as having a steady hand on the tiller when the emotional waters occasionally got turbulent during meetings!

The cost of not doing anything
- Continue wasting time and money- approx £20k a year for a team of 20 on an average UK salary
- Continue causing frustration among team members and demotivating them
- Continue missing out on your team members realising their potential
- Continue your current levels of underperformance and productivity
- Many people think they can just do it on their own, try and fail, make things worse, and then go back to how they were doing things but having wasted a lot of time, effort and goodwill.
Imagine your team with greater clarity and faster decision-making
When team members on the front line are empowered to make decisions, the team is less held back by bureaucracy and can be more responsive to unexpected changes and customer needs.

- Assuming each person saves at least 1hr per week from checking less for permission/agreement from others/shorter meetings, so making decisions faster. Based on an average hourly rate of £20 for each person, working 48 weeks a year = saving approx £960 per person per year. Up to 20 people can join the program at a time as standard, saving a total £19,200 per year.

Get ready for The Meetings Revolution
It builds the Role Clarity, ownership and initiative and decision-making protocols which are essential pre-requisites for effective meetings.
Once your team has completed this program, it will then be ready to bring these new ways of working to revolutionise painful meetings to become more productive and motivational in 6 steps in 3 months, in the next course in the series called The Meetings Revolution.
If your team already has these foundations in place, for example by starting to adopt some parts of Holacracy or other self-organizing practices, then it may be ready to go straight into The Meetings Revolution. Check it out here, or get in touch to talk to us if you are not sure.
Welcome to the
Series of Online Programs
Over the last 35 years we have been studying, working in, training and consulting with teams in many different contexts and have learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t.
We’ve identified 9 foundational team practices drawn from many different practices such as Holacracy and self-organizing which equip teams to adapt to today’s Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous world, in these 3 areas:
Making Teams more Effective
- Role Clarity
- Decision-Making protocols
- Team members transparently organising their own work so they can be more accountable to each other
Empowering Team members
- Each team member taking ownership for sensing, tracking, owning & processing issues to fix or improve things
- Team members owning more decisions using Role Clarity and Distributed Authority
- Making collective decisions more effectively with clear decision-making processes which include multiple views, harvest collective intelligence and avoiding endless discussion
Building Teams that can Adapt & Evolve
- Clear and easy ways to update roles to adapt the organisation structure in small steps in response to changes in the world
- Tensions distributed and owned
- Using all of the above to building team resilience
