A World Café at the TOP with the participants of the CAS in Team Management of the Executive Education HEC Lausanne and the 18 drivers for sustainable teams!

With this panel of leaders from various professional environments, it was rich to exchange around their challenges and to note that there are themes that stand out, that can be shared and enriched among > despite the differences in fields of activity and context.

To enable and structure exchanges and the sharing of issues and ideas, Frederic Meuwly, in charge of the "team management" module, used the "Word Café" format.Word Café with 18 drivers for sustainable teams".

This facilitation structure enabled a large number of issues and ideas to emerge on each of these 18 factors, while involving all participants as much as possible.

Here's a small excerpt from the key issues raised by this group of leaders:

Directing progress in line with the reality of the field and the vision of the institution. -> Factor #7: Learning, growth and progress.
Involve team members in creating the shared vision. Factor #1 Raison d'être and shared vision.
Valuing initiatives to enable (factor #2) innovation and value creation.
The importance of recognition and gratification -> factor #13.
The importance of having a clear strategy, and being able to rally people around it. This same strategy can become a recruitment argument, and should be part of the onboarding process. -> Factor #17: Strategy, roadmap and priorities.
Creating a climate of trust -> Factor #18: Supportive leadership

This same group came up with the idea of an 18-FACTOR RESOURCE .

The principle is simple: for each of the 18 factors, each leader was able to add ideas for practices that he or she already applies in his or her organization, so that all the other members of the group can draw inspiration from them and apply these practices within their respective organizations where applicable.

As part of this best practice sharing resource center, several Risk Management practices were shared and exchanged, including the "London protocol", a systemic analysis of clinical incidents and numerous other practices for each key factor.

Well done to the group of leaders present for your commitment to this module!
