Private Offerings
All certified Scrum courses are also offered as private offerings. This is more cost-effective for organizations that have multiple people requiring training.
Coming Soon!
Do you want to take your virtual and hybrid teams to the next level?
- Starting the summer of 2023, I will be offering All Star Teams (AST). AST is a five-hour facilitated virtual experience that helps team members collaborate better. Imagine that 🙂
- All Star Teams was purpose-built to meet virtual and hybrid teams’ unique needs. By engaging individuals, teams, and organizations holistically and at scale, real-time talent management has never been easier to visualize and understand. All Star Teams is designed to address today’s communications and collaboration challenges and create trusting teams sooner.
- There are three parts to the All Star Teams Experience. The modular design enables facilitators to choose those parts and related exercises most relevant to their team needs.
Team and individual onboarding – 60 minutes (team overview 30 minutes, individual exercises 30 minutes)
- All Star Teams starts with a team overview of the tool followed by individual (asynchronous) exercises that provide an opportunity to assess your unique strengths and express something positive about yourself, your core values, and your idea of excellence. These exercises will provide the basis for the virtual team workshop.
Online Workshop – 3 hours
- Team members meet online for a facilitated workshop. This involves a series of synchronous exercises designed to help teams better understand their diverse strengths and practice being a team.
- Both parts involve reflection, dialogue, storytelling, visual thinking, and co-creation.
- In a matter of hours, teams work better together.
Creating. Ideating. Problem-solving. Collaborating. Getting the work done and generating results.
Optional organizational Star Constellation
- All Star Teams also works at scale. An organization’s stakeholders can easily picture and optimize their individual and collective “star power”. We call this the organization’s “constellation.” This enables instant search across the whole organization for particular strengths to build cognitively diverse or specialized teams. A team member’s individual digital “Star Card” makes this so easy and effective and transparent as well as empowering. Just ask the wonderful folks at MURAL about their own experience vis-a-vis.
Contact me if you want to be one of the first to bring AST to your teams.
