Invariably, in the UK we use "top down command and control" management methods that work against the natural way people collaborate with one another.
In effect most of our management and political theories actually work against the grain of human nature. And when we work against human nature we automatically build stress into the organisation. And that means we build stress into the physiology of everyone within the organisation.
“So much of what we call management consists
in making it difficult for people to work”
Peter Drucker
It is this stress that impacts every aspect of organisational performance and organisational productivity.

It is this stress that impacts every aspect of organisational performance and organisational productivity.
It is well known by scientists that stress makes a person progressively more irrational or stupid and antisocial, the more stressed they get. Similarly a stressed organisation becomes more stupid and dysfunctional, the more stressed it becomes.
With this understanding we can now see that it is a strategic imperative to build management structures and functions that are truly aligned with the innate nature of every organisation's core component part - the human being. This is the only way to create a low stress work environment. Only this way can an organisation, or a society for that matter, gain access to the creative intelligence of every one in the organisation and so produce a quantum shift in productivity and performance.
Team Business Development (TBD) is provided through Consultancy services leadership coaching, and change management consultancy from our base in Bournemouth, Dorset. Our services are available throughout the UK. This unique style of management consultancy takes you and your organisation carefully, step by step through powerful new team management and team planning concepts based on a deeper understanding of the workings of the human brain.

- Find out what’s really going on in your organisation. Eliminate the “information quarantine” that debilitates the effectiveness of so many senior managers.
- Know how to identify 25 stress factors that unwittingly damage an organisation's capacity to be successful.
- Become fluent in the easy mechanics to overcome resistance to your change management initiatives.
- Learn the team planning techniques to obtain valid, rational and pertinent opinion from a wide variety of perspectives more effectively than focus groups and brain storming and without creating chaos and conflict.
- Develop the team structure and protocols to utilise bottom-up feedback from the whole organisation and translate this feedback into 20 – 40 improvement projects that will transform your organisation’s performance by 25% - 50%.
- Find out why management techniques often create organisational stress and so generate more problems than they solve.
- Learn the team building skills that cultivate the support, creativity, intelligence, experience, loyalty and skills of everyone in your organisation to motivate real enthusiasm and commitment.
- Learn how to develop a winning organisation that is also a pleasure to work in.

The effectiveness of these concepts is the bi-product of ten years of team planning and team management research at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in California and also parallel advances in neuroscience and psychology. As a result TBD's practical, down to earth planning and management techniques are based on a clearer understanding of human nature including what motivates people and gets them to commit so enthusiastically to the goals of the organisation.

but somehow we could always find the time to do the job twice when it went wrong!”
- 1. TBD establishes a sense of urgency that ignites the latent energies existing in the organisation within a few days, generating a powerful momentum that creates comprehensive improvements right across the organisation.
2. TBD's powerful cross disciplinary processes bring the whole organisation together as a team getting much quicker acceptance and support for change.
3. The TBD process generates a much higher degree of trust and a feeling of “fair play” among managers and staff, transforming commitment and motivation for strategic change.
4. In the commercial context, TBD integrates the day-to-day business of cost cutting, customer service, sales, administration and production at the same time as channelling efforts into developing longer-term strategy.
5. The open structures of the TBD process minimize organisational stress, counterproductive and corrosive internal politics and turf wars. Instead energy is expended on creating rapid and effective productive outcomes.
6. Problem solving and action planning are launched from a much broader understanding of the issues confronting your organisation, creating dramatic step changes in performance and achievement.
7. Open and clear communications eliminate chaos and generate coherence in action-taking. People don’t take decisions in isolation, and understand the impact they have on other areas.
8. TBD removes major organisational stress factors that inhibit productivity and suppress the flow of that creative energy essential to the success of any group planning enterprise.
9. Despite the openness, collaboration and consensus, TBD’s special mechanisms give the team leader, more effective control over events and progress than with other change management techniques.
10. By mobilising the natural enthusiastic problem solving creativity and energy of everyone in the organisation, it becomes less reliant on the “key-man”.
11. The group process mirrors an individual’s basic sequence of thinking. Amazingly this makes it possible for a planning team to think through actions almost as quickly as an individual.
12. TBD integrates a wide variety of improvement projects, all of a different size, duration, importance and priority, into a coherent plan of action.
