How does a gathering of people develop to form a group and eventually become a team?

Navigating the course of team development and turning an incoherent group into a more effective team has become a bottom line priority for most companies. Why?

Companies invest a considerable amount of resources (human, capital, and time) forming teams or task forces to handle projects and tackle problems. Unfortunately, they do not always see a positive return. Projects end up falling apart because of teams lacking coherence, harmony, interaction, and effectiveness.

American Society for Management, Inc. offers on-site and off-site training workshops for Project Team Management to help your company form coherent teams, and examine and measure their development, evolution and progress, realistically and effectively. ASFM provides the necessary skills, tools, and techniques your company needs to make its teams achieve a high level of task performance, problem solving, decision-making, member satisfaction and team viability and synergy.
