  >> What is Think One Team?
think one team™ is more than just a book.  It has been designed as a complete framework, based on a cleverly crafted book and supported by practical tools that create the one team relationships, skills and practices that are essential to successfully executing the business strategy.  

who can benefit?
think one team™ programs have already been successfully implemented across the private and public sector globally, including in finance, manufacturing, education, mining and consulting.  The simple five practices model, the practical toolkits and the focus on effective partnering mean that think one team™ is equally effective at executive level as in frontline operations. 

why think one team™?
think one team™ brings people together from across those boundaries and provides a simple, yet powerful set of tools and practices to:

  •  reduce and where needed remove unnecessary barriers
  •  build partnerships to leverage knowledge and skills
  •  tackle and resolve the tough business issues
  •  reduce costs and enhance service
  •  develop a one team culture

  >> The Think One Team Book
think one team™ is a quick and powerful book that is a cost effective way to introduce the think one team™ model and concepts to managers, team leaders and employees. Follow the humorous, insightful and compelling story of the people of the O'Donnell's Jelly Bean Company, as they overcome communication breakdown, staff turnover and the dreaded 'silo' syndrome.

  >> The 5 Practices
As illustrated in the Book and Program, the designers of think one team™ have discovered five practices that define whether people 'Think Silos' or 'Think One Team'.
  • 1. share the big picture means putting aside other agendas.
  • 2. share the reality is about speaking the truth, confronting the harsh reality and being open to giving and receiving feedback.
  • 3. share the air is essential if potential is to be realised. The lifeblood of organisations is communication.
  • 4. share the load. When organisations really start to 'tick', it is this fourth practice that happens spontaneously, as people understand what the load really is and collaborate to get the job done by building genuine partnering relationships.
  • 5. share the wins and losses reminds us that in a 'one team culture', everyone wins, loses and most importantly learns and continues to improve together

  >> Programs
