Systemic Team Coaching

What is Systemic Team Coaching?

Systemic Team Coaching represents a comprehensive approach that extends beyond conventional team development methods. Rather than concentrating solely on internal team dynamics, this methodology examines the interconnected web of relationships, influences, and contexts that shape how teams function.

This holistic framework considers multiple layers of influence, including:

  • The team's core mission and reason for existence;

  • Key relationships with internal and external partners;

  • The surrounding organisational ecosystem and its values; and

  • Broader environmental factors that impact performance.

Through this expanded lens, teams are enabled to create to create meaningful alignment between their work and larger organisational objectives.  It fosters deeper collaborative relationships while establishing resilient, adaptive practices that can evolve with changing circumstances.

The distinguishing feature of this approach lies in its recognition that teams don't operate in isolation, they exist within complex, dynamic systems that significantly influence their effectiveness and outcomes.

Why Systemic Team Coaching?

When teams understand and actively engage with their systemic context, they become more adaptive, resilient, and strategically aligned. They develop the capacity to:

  • Navigate complex stakeholder relationships effectively;

  • Anticipate and respond to environmental changes;

  • Create sustainable solutions that benefit the broader organisation; and

  • Build collaborative networks that extend their influence and impact.

This systemic awareness transforms teams from isolated units into dynamic, interconnected agents of organisational success, capable of thriving in complexity while driving meaningful results.

What does the work of systemic team coaching involve?

Phase 1: CID (Setup and Preparation)

This initial phase focuses on establishing the coaching relationship and understanding the team's context:

  • Contracting 1: Initial individual exploratory discussions with team members and stakeholders.

  • Inquiry: Research the evidence and gather information about the team's current situation.

  • Discovery, Diagnosis & Design: Comprehensive assessment of team dynamics, challenges, and development needs.

Phase 2: CLEAR (The Coaching Process)

This phase involves the actual coaching intervention through five cyclical steps:

  • Contracting 2: Establish outcomes and ways of working with the whole team.

  • Listening: Get under the 'tip of the iceberg' to understand deeper team dynamics.

  • Explore & Experiment: Open up possibilities and use coaching tools.

  • Action: Determine what the team will actually do.

  • Review: Build continuous feedback and learning into the process.
