ATG understands the value of expanding the leaders of today and building the FuturesLeaders of tomorrow; the value we add is the multifaceted, multilevel approach to building this talent. Through team and individual assessment, training, and development, we enable leaders from all career stages and their teams to identify strengths, needs, and specific plans of action. ATG consultants leverage their expertise in organizational psychology to facilitate this process, implementing and integrating the outcomes into a comprehensive talent management strategy that promotes effective leadership across all levels of an organization.

While individual leadership development is critical in promoting an organization’s success, ATG recognizes that the individual does not work in a vacuum. Instead, it is just as critical to promote team effectiveness by understanding the team’s strengths and areas for improvement. The powering force behind the TeamTechTM approach is to introduce the means by which teams will enhance their functioning for continued, self-sustainable growth and productivity.

ATG implements the TeamTechTM approach by first assessing each individual’s contributions to the team, allowing clients to objectively identify where the team is the strongest and needs the most development. Results are presented in a workbook format at a half-day Team Effectiveness Audit TM, during which an ATG consultant facilitates the team’s evaluation of its efficiency in all aspects of a project cycle.

Once a team identifies its needs, ATG delivers customized team facilitation events to promote continued growth. Such event themes have included the identification of future team leadership designed to fill recognized gaps, uncovering potential leadership within the group, and understanding the perception team members have of each other. Each team need is unique, and ATG’s TeamTechTM approach customizes the intervention to meet each need.

Many organizations hold corporate retreats to promote team building, introduce new visions or missions, or summarize the year’s progress. ATG is available to enhance the productivity of our clients’ summits to ensure that attendees get the most out of these important events. ATG brings expertise in team facilitation and goal setting and cascading to maximize the outcomes of corporate retreats, making certain that the message is effectively presented, received, and implemented into the organization’s structure as intended. ATG’s involvement in each retreat is customized to meet the specific needs of each client and goals of the summit and designed to promote quality outcomes.
