Course overview

Scale your leadership - a guide to Tech Team's success

Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice. Similarly, without key data, you don't know how to transform team effectiveness.


Adopt my proven What|How|Who framework to implement effective strategies, yielding improvements of at least 40-60%. It's simple to understand, communicate and provides the tools to implement effectively.


With practical, actionable takeaways from this workshop covering a holistic framework, you will be able to drive your team's effectiveness by holding them accountable and in turn scale your leadership and do more with less. This course will expose you to the essential areas in a rigorous manner.


The course is a mix of lectures and structured exercises/cases based on real scenarios. We'll then constantly tie our team measurements and analyses back to strategic outcomes and workshop for your specific situations. 


I recommend thinking of measurement across the three themes of 'what' (strategic impact), 'how' (execution and operational excellence), and 'who' (team dynamics). Another way of phrasing this is the 3 P’s —product, process, and people. Let’s take a closer look at how these are covered across the classes.


Class 1: WHY measure team effectiveness and overview of productivity impact you will be able to drive.

Class 2: Different Measurements to scale the WHAT i.e. WHAT strategic value is the team delivering.

Class 3: Tactics for HOW to excel i.e. HOW is the team executing and delivering against the plans.

Class 4: Ways to empower the culture for people WHO are the contributors.



In addition to thinking about these three themes of what, how, and who, I also believe it’s important to combine measurement (typical metrics that shouldn’t be too surprising to any leader) with follow-through techniques. These follow-throughs are important to ensure you loop back and discover what’s working and what’s not



The classes themselves are 60 minutes . We will cover those across 2 hr sessions over 2 weeks, with an additional weekly Q&A session (optional) and take-home assignment.



Each class covers modeling measurements, its analysis and follow-through techniques to drive change. Our focus is not just on measurements but rather (a) how to evolve KPIs and tools to use for measurements ( b) how to make it repeatable for continuous improvements to achieve goals ( c) how it might be best presented to a senior audience.
