Topic : "High Performance Teams" 

The Women are IT network is very pleased to invite you to this exclusive presentation.  This not to be missed opportunity is being offered to men and women, members and non-members alike. 

Today’s competitive business environment demands increased productivity, better quality, shortened response time, and lower costs.  Many organisations have achieved success by replacing the hierarchical boss-subordinate relationship with that of an empowered High Performance Team who are not managed, controlled or supervised.  They are led by their mutual vision of the organisation’s purpose and goals. 

We all know teams out-perform individuals acting alone.  To be part of a High Performance Team you have to learn how to work and be accountable as a team.  Arguably, today's organisational culture promotes independence, self-sufficiency and competitiveness at the expense of shared goals and collaboration.  So how does an organisation create, develop, manage and measure a ‘ High Performance Team’ in today’s market? 

We are fortunate to have 3 very special Guest Presenters who have this Vision and will share their knowledge and experience of creating ‘High Performance Teams’ with us.
