The Smart Teams masterclass series reduces the productivity friction that your team experiences as they go about their work. Each masterclass focuses on a different productivity culture, and will achieve the following outcomes:
Cultural change is never easy, especially in large, complex teams. But when it comes to sustained productivity and performance, it is essential. Culture is just a set of group behaviours and beliefs, and if not intentionally crafted, the culture can take on a life of its own, causing a massive amount of disruption to everyone’s productivity.
Your team’s communication culture, meeting culture and prioritisation culture may be causing too much distraction, busyness and reactivity. These productivity blockers serve to disrupt personal productivity and reduce the capacity of your team.
The Smart Teams Masterclass series turns:
Each masterclass is designed in three stages to maximise the impact of the event itself, and to fully equip your team to create a meaningful cultural change.

Running a Smart Teams Masterclass is a powerful way to improve the productivity culture within your team, division or organisation. Your people will not only learn how to work better together, they will also walk away with a set of productivity agreements that will drive a change in behaviour and a change in culture.
The series is based on Dermot Crowley’s Smart Teams book, and is built around the three productivity cultures that we believe have the most impact on the productivity of your team: your communication culture, your meeting culture and your prioritisation culture. Choose between the communication masterclass that will revolutionise how your team communicates, the meeting masterclass that will reduce the burden of too many meetings, or the prioritisation masterclass that will create a more proactive, importance-driven culture.
Whilst it may seem appealing to try to work on all three cultures at once, we recommend that you don’t. Choose one culture to work on – the one that will have the most impact for your team, and focus on that for the next few months.
It takes time and energy to create a cultural shift. We will help you create a project to embed the right strategies and team agreements, and explore ways to keep everyone engaged and inspired until this new way of working becomes the norm.
