Team coaching workshop for a Rectorate Commission

A university in Saxony commissioned CHE Consult to improve communication and cooperation within a rectorate committee. Jens Engelke, Principal Consultant at CHE Consult, carried out an analysis and targeted team coaching measures with the aim of optimising the dynamics within the group in the long term.

The first step was to coordinate the assignment in order to clarify the exact requirements and expectations of the university. A structured questionnaire was then developed and used as the basis for individual interviews with the eight members of the committee. These interviews were crucial in capturing the individual perspectives and challenges of the members and in identifying potential areas of conflict.

Based on the results of the interviews, CHE Consult designed a team coaching workshop that specifically addressed the identified communication and cooperation difficulties. In a feedback session at the end of the workshop, the commission members reported that several agreements had been reached that would significantly improve not only cooperation but also communication within the team in the future. The jointly developed measures also helped to identify concrete starting points for the creation of a common self-image with regard to the role of the commission in the definition of training objectives.
