We all know it, once a year it happens in every team: a team charter is drawn up. Mission, vision and strategy... you know the drill.
Often it's already established in outline form, but is simply communicated and you as the manager get to add some color in the form of a team building exercise.

There is tinkering, brainstorming and slogans thought up. Everyone sees how things could be done differently and what the goal is. It's usually a fun day with the team. You get the feeling that you and your team are doing your part after all and that your team matters. Your team goes home in the evening charged and motivated.

Isn't this what we all want?

To matter? To feel like you add value to the operation and success of the company you work for?

The next day everyone goes back to work and there is some after-work talk at the coffee machine. 

One month later, hardly anyone remembers what the big picture was and the motivation has completely disappeared.

A pity... because such a team charter can be very powerful and work as a great motivator to achieve goals and successes.

What will you learn in this training?

• The why of the company
• The identity of your team
• The BOL of your team (maintain - develop - let go)
• The goal based on and in function of the "why".

• Which follow-ups and actions are needed to keep your team charter top of mind and to reach your goal?

What will you learn in this course?

  "During our meetings, no one dares to say what it is really about"
  "Plans are often made during our meeting, but nothing comes of it afterwards.
  "I am the person who opens my mouth during meetings"

Product to Market (P2M) is a hands-on coaching program tailored to you and your offering.

Business leaders and managers often face intangible challenges. Because today markets and regulations are very fluid; situations change, objectives change, interdependencies suddenly seem to loom.

As a result, projects exceed their timing and budget. Often this is very detrimental to the operational functioning of the company.
