How Can You Achieve Tough Targets?
Achieve challenging targets with unconventional thinking. Our Team Impetus Workshops encourage that and deliver a Progress Canvas for you to monitor and communicate progress.
Here’s How
To achieve your targets, have your team use the Team Impetus model, based on Solution Focus tools. Your team:
- Creates a shared future, it doesn’t dwell on the past
- Focuses on progress, not on what’s stopping the team
- Asks what is different, not what is wrong
- Looks for capabilities, not weaknesses
- Seeks interaction not introspection
- Takes small steps rather than build large action plans.
It works and delivers a Progress Canvas for you to use to monitor progress. It’s positive, constructive and uses your team’s strengths and capabilities to effect change, whether your targets are for day to day operations, or a major project. Interested? Willing to invest up to two days to work on it?

“I took part in John´s Team Impetus Training in Cologne in January and what I gained from it was worth a lot more than what I had to pay. John´s approach to Training and Workshops is fun, stimulating and creative and the tools he has developed (such as the Team Impetus Model) are very effective in any context. I have used them with great results in various professional and private situations. The workshop also brought together a unique blend of participants with different professional backgrounds who were a pleasure to collaborate with and who were willing to share their own experience, insights and expertise with the rest of the group. In combination with John´s skills as a facilitator and teacher the group offered me a memorable and profitable experience.” Michael Sauer. Consultant.

A CASE STUDY
Infrastructure Company
This infrastructure company had to save £1.5 billion from its programme budget, across several projects, with no loss in quality or value. The challenge was complex because those involved came from competing organisations across different engineering disciplines.
We worked with their project team and the top team, demonstrated the value of using an SF approach and then ran 13 workshops for them in a year, both internally and with other contractors.
The SF approach encouraged collaboration and the workshops were successful. With much extra work from the project team the company achieved its savings target.
