All about The Rocket Model
Teams are the foundation of successful modern businesses. Doing business today requires that knowledge is shared, and that collaboration happens easily and freely, with little-to-no friction. Teams are the natural solution, yet effective teams can be challenging to bring together. The ways in which teams are assembled, structured, and led can mean the difference between ongoing frustration and reaching greater heights.
Our colleague and distinguished collaborator Dr. Gordy Curphy brings a powerful paradigm for understanding what the best teams are made of: The Rocket ModelTM. Based on research from 2,500 teams around the globe, the components of this model help teams leverage strengths, identify weakness and create plans for improvement. The Rocket Model™ is a science-backed approach to scale effective teamwork and consists of:
1. the in-depth and intuitive Rocket Model™ framework
2. the Team Assessment Survey (TAS)
3. a rich resource book "Ignition - A Guide to Building High-Performing Teams"
4. proven and practical Team Facilitation materials, for a wide range of team contexts
The four components are akin to Lego blocks, in that they can be combined in different ways to improve teamwork, such as designing and facilitating team off-sites, creating leadership development programs that train leaders how to build teams, as part of executive onboarding or succession planning practices, combined with personality and 360-degree feedback to provide leaders with insights about their team building ability, or help organisations scale effective teamwork.
The TAS is an online assessment that provides insights into team strengths, areas of improvement, and benchmarked feedback on team dynamics and performance. This assessment data, including your personal information, is stored on a platform outside of the US, so is not subject to the Patriot Act.
