The Teamana Approach
Every team is unique. SPARC provides the flexible tools that allow each leader to be proactive in maintaining healthy teams that continually deliver impactful results.
Build sustainable, effective teams by connecting wellbeing and performance.
Teamana’s signature 4-step process was originally developed and has a history of success helping companies build strong brands to engage and retain their customers. Teamana is now using the same structured process and principles to help intentionally unlock the full potential of teams, researchers, and practitioners.
Our uniquely human-centered and data-driven process focuses on optimizing performance and wellbeing through:
values and practice alignment
implementation of research-informed practices in teams’ existing workflows
strengthening supportive relationships across the teams’ lifecycles
Phases 1 and 4 deal with the empirical or fact-based side of the process. Phases 2 and 3 address the planning and execution aspects of the rollout in your organization.
01. Intent
In Phase 1, we collect and analyze data on key metrics for a deep understanding of your organization and teams. A planning framework is created to serve as the basis to target key moments and/or different worker segments. This leads to the development of a framework that can be used to create tailored offerings.
02. Disrupt
Phase 2 guides long-term strategic decisions and resource allocations by determining which key moment(s) you want to target, what assets need to be developed and implemented, and what skills are necessary for success. The metrics for determining success are determined in this phase so they can be measured in Phase 4.
03. Transform
Phase 3 is all about execution. Tailored interventions are implemented at multiple levels to strategically improve workplace culture and team effectiveness. Tactics are organized by ‘strategic imperatives’ or the initiatives required to advance the strategies. Therefore, tactics are not addressed individually; rather a proprietary process links the tactics to specific activities, the resources necessary, the time frame for completion, and the people responsible. This allows for a simple and clear management tool to evaluate progress and identify roadblocks.
04. Regenerate
Phase 4 deals with feedback and measures progress against your benchmarks or goals. This is done at three levels: business metrics (e.g., revenue, time to market, etc.), HR measures (e.g., hiring, firing, retention, engagement), and employee experience measures (e.g., psychological safety).
