Team Formula for Success

Discover the team formula for success

People not products are the most important asset in tech today. When you work well together, your team executes at speed and you win the time-based competition. You can:

Work smarter together
Hit team results faster
Keep your top team players
Enjoy work

How can your team accelerate speed of execution and productivity through disruptive change periods?

The answer lies in unlocking the combined power of your people to become a healthy, high-performance team.

Implementing a team operating system that incorporates the four elements of purpose, trust, clarity and simplicity, ensures consistency through a common language of how to work together. In today’s hybrid working world, this needs to be more intentional and deliberate than it was previously.

Why this process works

When a team is genuinely aligned behind a common purpose, they move faster and make better decisions about what actually matters.

When trust is high, people feel safe to challenge, ask for help, and speak up when priorities are drifting, which means teams are far more likely to stay committed to the plan instead of pulling in different directions.

Clarity removes confusion. Everyone understands what needs to happen, what good looks like, and who owns what, which creates accountability and stops energy being wasted second-guessing priorities.

And simplicity is where speed really kicks in. Complexity slows teams down, so the more friction you remove, the easier it becomes to execute consistently.

Together, these four pillars become the operating system for how a team works. They’re measurable too (just ask us how!), so you can spot where momentum is drifting and make small adjustments before teams stall.

With the Amplified Group framework what we learn is always top of mind so that this all becomes muscle memory. It’s the external point of view that’s really valuable.”

– Andy Bryars, Director Customer Success. Listen to Andy on the Get Amplified podcast: Organisational Fitness = Hyper Growth

If you are looking to build out a team then Amplified Group is a fantastic organisation to go on that journey with. They started with their Speed Check, which allowed us to clearly understand which areas to focus on first. We then moved to a workshop – lessons and tools were clear and concise. They were a partner in the process, taking time to listen and understand what we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amplified Group to anyone. We saw tangible results from the work we undertook with them and it set us up for success.”

A shout out to Vicky Reddington and the Amplified Group for helping me create team psychological safety on the way to having more effective product teams in my last 2 roles. It solves so many problems and empowers the team and me as the PM to actually get my job done.”

I was just thinking through my business plan for 2023 and realized that a LOT of the things that were stressful in 2022 are no longer pain points for me or the team – and it’s all thanks to the amazing workshop we had with you in Miami. Thanks again for the lasting impact you had on all of us.”

Change is always hard! Regardless of how much change we seem to encounter it’s always tough to get people to continue to buy into it. Having worked in many Tech Organisations I learnt that ‘Change is the only constant’ early on though it was only here at Okta while we were in Hyper Scaling mode did it really come into a unique clarity! So we got help!! Thanks to the Amplified Group we found a framework that was a literal Game Changer!”

I was hugely impressed with Amplified Group and their approach to building more effective teams. As a fairly new team of 10, our aim was to understand each other better and build the foundations to become more productive and agile. The latter can often take time within a university setting and our current ways of working. Amplified Group helped us think outside the boundaries of what we know and apply the learnings from fast-growing teams in the tech sector, who have similar ambitions of delivering at speed and scale. The workshop was delivered excellently – Pippa made us all feel so at ease and got the whole team involved. The agenda was clear, it met our aims for the day and led to a set of actions that we can actually implement quickly.”

– Sandro Günther – Head of Student Engagement, University of Southampton (LinkedIn Testimonial)

The Amplified Group have been instrumental in our roll out of Five Dysfunctions workshops across a number of key regions in EMEA. They have supported us with initial training and facilitation and also with assets and recommended approaches to keep the team mindset front and centre. We look forward to continued collaboration.”
