Team Development: Why choose Oasis?

Since 1993, Oasis has been involved in the development of teams in public, third, educational and business sectors.

We are committed to ways of working that help people make sense of their world and shape appropriate action through authentic relationship and transformative learning.

Many organisations recognise the role of teams in heightening esteem, performance and commitment.

However, if the process is ineffectively managed, team development can be hampered, creating greater problems for the organisation.

Without a clear understanding of team dynamics, human relations, the impact of context and the importance of team purpose, a team might find itself unable to function effectively because of a lack of awareness of the questions associated with its growth and current stage of operation.

An organisation needs to recognise the phases of development of a team, both those developed out of consciousness and those that can only be achieved through conscious decision.

In addition, it is important to consider the factors that facilitate their launch into the ‘maturing’ phase, taking note of the affective elements associated with the ‘getting real’ phase and the assistance that can be made to address them in such a way that individual members’ future contribution in the team is developed.
