Systemic Team Coaching Explained

Systemic team coaching helps organisations by uncovering the underlying dynamics in their teams, improving communication, trust and ways of working, and aligning everyone around shared goals. This creates stronger, more resilient teams that can collaborate more effectively to deliver a bigger, lasting impact for the communities and users they serve. Through this process, both individual team members and the team as a whole continuously learn, adapt, and grow together. That’s why our systemic team coaching approach focuses on helping your team develop these essential qualities, transforming how you work together and the value you create for your organisation and stakeholders.

Systemic

Address team performance within its broader context.

  • Outside-in – What the ecosystem partners and stakeholders of the team need from the team
  • Future-back. – What the world of tomorrow needs the team to do today.

Team

Work with the team as a unit, not  coaching each member separately.

A team comprises the group of people who must work together to deliver a purpose that cannot be achieved by individuals working separately.

What teams have achieved through systemic team coaching

Case 1: Global Technology Firm

A leading technology company was struggling with siloed operations and a lack of collaboration between its product development, marketing, and sales teams. This resulted in missed market opportunities and declining customer satisfaction scores.

After a six-month systemic team coaching program cross-functional collaboration, time to market for new products, and customer satisfaction improved.

The CEO commented, “Systemic team coaching helped us see the bigger picture and understand how our teams’ actions impact not just each other, but our entire ecosystem of stakeholders. It’s transformed the way we work together and deliver value to our customers.”

Case 2: Healthcare Provider Network

A large healthcare provider network was facing challenges in aligning its various hospitals and clinics to provide consistent, high-quality patient care across the system. Communication breakdowns and competing priorities were leading to inefficiencies and patient dissatisfaction.

Following a year-long systemic team coaching journey patient satisfaction, employee engagement and operational efficiency improved.

The Chief Medical Officer noted, “Systemic team coaching opened our eyes to the interconnectedness of our entire network. We now operate as a true system, with each part understanding its role in the bigger picture of patient care.”

Key facts about systemic team coaching

What does it involve

An important part of the coaching happens in the day to day activities of the team, such as team meetings.

A typical coaching process could also include a mixture of one-on-one interviews, one questionnaire, and one to three dedicated workshops. 

Time Investment

A complete journey from needs assessment to evaluation of development journey typically takes between 6 and 12 months.

Over this period of time team members will typically require 20 hours. 

Customised For Your Team

Systemic team coaching is a well developed framework endorsed by leading coaching bodies that can be customized to the needs of the team in its context. 

The end to end process has several stages. It starts with discovery of needs, moves into the team defining their development plan, executing and reviewing progress. The team gets value out of each stage. They decide which stages to go through and the speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the characteristics a team must meet to benefit?

There are several requirements to make the best out of team coaching

  • The team has to agree to be coached. In the same way that we don’t force anyone to get a coach in the gym, we don´ t force coaching in a team. 
  • Systemic team coaching is best suited for teams under 12 people with the organisational support (e.g. from the leadership team) and resources (e.g. skills) to support their own development. 

While stakeholders (such as clients, partners, suppliers) don’t participate in the full coaching program, their perspectives are valuable inputs to the process. The team will consult stakeholders to ensure the team’s development aligns with their stakeholders’ needs and expectations, but the core coaching work focuses on the team itself.

Our systemic team coaching programs are fully customizable to each organization’s needs. We adapt the pace and schedule to align with your team’s workload, capabilities, and context. Our flexible approach ensures the coaching process serves your team’s development without disrupting operations.

Systemic team coaching has as a purpose to build within the team self-coaching skills. When a coaching engagement has gone through all the phases of the process a team should be able to continue their own development and adaptability for the future by themselves. The decision to involve coaches in subsequent phases is entirely up to the team.

This depends on your organizational structure and how work is organized to deliver value. Some organizations function as one team, where everyone works toward a single purpose, while others operate as multiple teams with distinct but interconnected purposes. During our initial assessment, we help identify the most effective approach for your specific situation. 

Several teams at different levels can be coached simultaneously by the same or different coaches. 

Team coaching and individual coaching serve different purposes and operate at different levels. 

Individual coaching focuses on personal development, career goals, and individual performance. The coach works one-on-one with a person to explore their specific challenges, aspirations, and growth opportunities.

Team coaching, particularly systemic team coaching, works with the entire team as a single entity. It focuses on:

  • The team’s collective purpose and goals
  • How team members work together as a system
  • The team’s relationships with stakeholders
  • The team’s impact on the wider organization and environment
  • Collective learning and development
  • Team patterns and dynamics
  • How the team creates value together

While individual growth occurs during team coaching, it happens in service of the team’s collective development and effectiveness rather than individual objectives.

No by default. Systemic team coaching focuses on the team as a whole system rather than individual coaching sessions. While team members will develop individually through the process, the coaching engagement centers on collective growth, team dynamics, and achieving the team’s shared purpose. Individual coaching can be provided as  a separate service.

A group and a team are fundamentally different in how they operate and achieve results. 

A group is a collection of individuals who share a workspace or department but work independently towards their own goals. Success in a group is measured by individual contributions, and members share information but aren’t dependent on each other’s work.

A team, on the other hand, has a shared purpose that can only be achieved through collective effort. Team members are interdependent – they need each other to succeed, and their success is measured by collective outcomes. In a team, members actively collaborate and rely on each other’s contributions, typically combining complementary skills to deliver their purpose.

Systemic team coaching is a well defined framework that can be implemented in different ways depending on the team’s context and needs. We tailor the coaching proposal and cost to the team’s needs. Cost are provided on demand after initial exploration conversations.Â
