Team Watcher

Do you need to give very accurate feedback to teams, groups or individuals?

Do you need to be precise about the contribution time of individuals, e.g. high or low contributors?

Do you need to give immediate feedback at any point in a meeting or group exercise?

Do you need to keep a record or print individual behaviour profiles?

Do you need to save time in collating assessment event records?

Do you need to analyse behaviours in role plays?

If the answer to most of these questions is YES, then Team Watcher will help you.

Team Watcher is a PC based programme that allows you to accurately observe group members after you have decided upon the behaviours you want to measure.

If you rely on scribbled notes or "tick sheets", you can save time here. The issues with this approach are that it is difficult to give instant feedback and also there is no time element recorded.

This could be valuable information in many training situations, showing high and low contributors. In a counselling interview, being able to precisely give information about the talk ratio could also be helpful.

It can be used for:
Team building
Interview skills training
Role plays
Assessment
Selling skills
Negotiation
Feeback

Using Team Watcher

How does it work?

The left hand screen, designed for a data projector, shows the results so far, of sales role plays for individuals. However, it is a live update screen and anything entered on the grid on the right will display immediately. Individual results can also be shown. You also have another option of just showing the graphs at any point you decide in your session.

However, you can also use Team Watcher without connecting to a data projector. Just record your observations and feed them back straight off your laptop. A small graph can be shown on your screen, so the results are easy to see.

Team Watcher offers you:

• Measurement against up to 12 behaviours

• Observe up to 8 people or unlimited if names are nor used

• Clean database file re-start

• Printing out tick sheets for multiple observations

• Ability to add in tick-sheet results

• Sociogram drawing screen to map interaction between group members

Setting up

This should not take more than three minutes per session. Half this time if you already have a behaviour set prepared and saved.

1. Create, re-use or edit a behaviour set.
2. Enter the group names.
3. Observe group.
4. Show results at any time.

Behaviour Entry

Above - Behaviour entry grid.
Behaviours on left, names at top and times at bottom.

Clicking on a box enters a behaviour. The mouse is left there if the same behaviour is continued, recording the contribution time. Any entry errors are corrected with a right click. The screen results are automatically saved.

At any time, you an bring up the result to date which is shown on a bar graph for both individuals and the group.You can print these results too.

Feedback

Graphs of individual or group observations can be shown via data projector or printed
You can also just use your laptop for recording obserations, without using a projector.
The programme can also display graphs onto your laptop, so you can talk to the group about these results, without having to display them.

Areas of application could be:

- Team Buiding
- Group facilitation
- Interviewing
- Negotiating
- Selling Skills
- Telephone skills / sales
- Counselling
- Transactional Analysis

If you use the Belbin Team roles instrument you could also use the programme for obtaining information about individual behaviours linked to these role. This does require an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of each role.

In addition you could also use it for recording your favourite sports! Why not get an accurate record of all those "no balls" in the next cricket match or all those England goals in the next World Cup?

So what does it all do for you as a Trainer?

- Ease of recording individual contributions

- Instant display of the session to date, in other words - Instant Feedback!

- Slick presentation (why not?)

- No paperwork

- Precision feedback

- Retention of records and notes

- "Hard"" information for individuals or groups

- Accurate information about length of contributions in terms of group time.

There is also another dimension to this. The 2005 report on training provision in the UK stated that there was an over supply of Trainers. That was before the current recession!

While no figures have been released for 2010, there are indications that there is an even greater over supply of Trainers. If you have current customers, hang on to them, but if you are pitching for new business you are in a different and very competitive game. Being able to offer your clients something extra might just get you that team development work.

If you think this is far fetched, it has already happened. A consultant presenting to a large commercial organisation, was more than well received by showing that they could use Team Watcher to give value-added to their work.

If you can't measure it, you can't improve it!
