Teams are facing increasing pressure to do more with less, delivering results faster, adapting to constant change and maintaining performance in the face of rising complexity. Whether leading a long-standing team, building one from scratch, or steering through transition, the challenge of working well together remains constant. Despite the rhetoric, truly high-performing teams are still rare.

That’s why ECI Partners developed the Team Effectiveness & Engagement Model (TEEM)™ – an evidence-based framework designed to help leaders and teams strengthen performance, improve alignment, and build sustained team effectiveness.

TEEM™ brings together the best of contemporary research, proven frameworks, and practical insights from leading academics and organisational experts. It’s a structured process that helps leaders work on the team, not just in it.

This model is especially effective for:

• Senior teams under pressure to deliver
• New teams navigating change or rapid growth
• Cross-functional teams in complex environments
• Startups and scale-ups seeking strong team foundations

TEEM™ helps teams clarify their shared purpose, align around clear ways of working, and improve individual and collective leadership. It provides a roadmap for long-term team development, with measurable outcomes.

The TEEM™ process includes:

• Team discovery and diagnostics to identify strengths, gaps and opportunities
• Structured team alignment sessions to reset focus and resolve friction
• Guided decision-making frameworks to support practical improvement
• Developmental tools and resources – books, frameworks, videos, curated for context
• Ongoing support to ensure insights become habits and improvements stick

This is not a one-off workshop. It’s a living process that evolves with your team by helping leaders continuously lift team performance, connection and impact.

• It’s evidence-based: grounded in what the best teams actually do
• It’s practical: focused on real conversations, not just theory
• It’s sustainable: designed to create habits, not just events
• It’s adaptable: tailored to the challenges and dynamics of your specific team

TEEM™ facilitates deeper, more focused dialogue, helping teams become more aligned, more engaged and more effective over time.

When teams work well, everything moves faster and better. The energy shifts. Communication opens up. People think more clearly and lead more decisively.

Our clients tell us their teams feel more connected, confident and accountable – and it shows in their results.

Complex infrastructure projects are never linear. They require agile leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and clear alignment on strategy, particularly when challenges emerge. ALTRAC’s executive team was under constant pressure to make high-stakes decisions while maintaining strong relationships with external partners and internal teams.

The risk wasn’t just technical failure. It was the risk of losing strategic clarity over time. Especially in a long-haul project where momentum can wane.

ECI Partners worked closely with ALTRAC’s CEO and senior leadership team for over five years, delivering a sustained executive coaching and team development program that evolved in step with the business.

Our focus was twofold:

• Keep the executive team aligned, engaged and focused on long-term strategy
• Create space for deep, reflective dialogue that addressed emerging issues and blind spots

We established a quarterly rhythm through facilitated leadership roundtables – half-day strategic workshops tailored to ALTRAC’s context. These weren’t passive check-ins. They were structured, high-impact sessions designed to:

• Surface critical challenges and strategic trade-offs
• Strengthen team alignment and cohesion
• Facilitate open, high-trust conversations
• Enable constructive conflict resolution
• Support long-term organisational performance

Over time, the process adapted to new business realities, through delivery, operations, and even leadership transitions, yet always remained anchored in the team’s strategic priorities.

Even through the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, ALTRAC’s leadership roundtables remained a non-negotiable. They became the foundation for:

• Stronger executive alignment
• Better decision-making under pressure
• Deeper individual and collective insight
• Sustained team discipline across distinct project stages

Most notably, the process endured across two CEOs, becoming a legacy structure for executive team effectiveness, strategic alignment and cultural continuity.
