Insights Discovery Team Effectiveness.
At Unify we lean upon the Insights Discovery Team Effectiveness model. This tried and tested framework builds on the behaviours described by Discovery and creates a scaffolding of team performance.
We partner with clients to build teams that thrive, not just survive. Whether they are hybrid, dispersed or wholly office-based, we work with you to ensure every team member is given the opportunity to learn, grow and reach their full potential both individually and as a team.
When individuals come together as a team they bring unique strengths, personalities, experience and knowledge. However, that combination of values, beliefs, attitudes, fears, ego and mindsets can also bring the potential for misunderstanding, conflict and dysfunction.
That is unless everyone on the team embraces self-awareness and is motivated to genuinely connect with others, using behavioural diversity as an opportunity to benefit the team and organisation as a whole.
This requires courage to admit fallibility, objectiveness to accept other’s opinions, and responsibility to take ownership of a collective purpose. That’s when a team will flourish, achieve their goals and outperform expectations.

At Unify we help teams create psychologically safe environments in order to enable them to become more effective and collaborative through embracing behavioural and cognitive diversity, identifying weaknesses or areas for development. This builds a platform of clarity, clear communication and understanding. It encourages an openness to challenge mindsets and embeds a willingness to genuinely connect with each other.
Virtual.
Your team works remotely all the time.
Along with all the benefits of remote working, a virtual team can feel isolated, lack clarity on direction and ambiguity can reign through miscommunication, surface-level relationships and a lack of genuine human connection.
Hybrid.
Your team is blended; some are in the office and some are remote.
Hybrid teams seem like the perfect compromise, but when some people are office-based and some are virtual silos can appear, information isn’t shared collectively, and favouritism can emerge with those who are seen more frequently in person.
On-site.
Your team works together in one geographical location.
Although onsite team working seems like the most beneficial when people spend time together in this way they create a norm and creativity and innovation can suffer, non-verbal behavioural styles can clash and artificial harmony can creep in.
Team working is tough, and it’s easy to get wrong. But with the right approach, support and accountability, team working can be a joy, and be the measurable difference in engagement, motivation, team success and ultimately, organisational growth.
