Team Science Workshop Series:
Moving from What to How

The Team Science literature is full of knowledge about what it takes to build a strong and effective research team. The “What” is relatively easy to understand, it makes sense to us, and is easy to share with others.

This Workshop Series focuses on the “How”

There is strong evidence that trust and psychological safety are essential for healthy team dynamics. It is well appreciated that productive conflict is essential. And it is hard to read about Team Science and not come across a phrase indicating the power of bringing people together from different disciplines to solve complex research problems.

This Workshop Series will help you learn:

How to build trust and psychological safety in teams
How to shift from unproductive to productive conflict and minimize defensiveness
How to fully leverage difference and diversity to enhance creativity and innovation

Who Should Participate?

These workshops were designed with the following audiences in mind

Researchers seeking to jump-start a new team,

revitalize an existing one, or bring together people from across sectors to address a difficult challenge

Research development professionals, faculty development specialists, and other boundary spanners

who support researchers interested in building teams intentionally, are developing their own training programs, or want to deepen their knowledge, understanding, and skills

Organizational leaders

who are envisioning greater competitiveness through the cultivation of a collaborative culture

Are you ready to thrive in the new era of teamwork?

Our workshops and consulting services are designed to equip your teams with the tools and strategies needed to tackle modern challenges and achieve exceptional results. Let us guide you in unlocking your team's full potential and driving success.

Introduction to

Team Science

This workshop provides a solid foundation of team science principles and elements as you start your learning journey

Anatomy of a Difficult Conversation

What makes difficult conversations so difficult? In this workshop, a difficult conversation is broken down into component parts in order to explore what doesn’t work and reconstruct a conversation that does

Minimizing Misunderstandings

Learn about the mental models that can contribute to misunderstanding and gain an understanding of the tools and takeaways that will help you, and help you help others, minimize them

Building a Team

on Purpose

Whether a research team gels or not should not be left to chance. Intentionally putting the pieces together delivers a strong return on investment both relationally and scientifically

Trust and Psychological Safety

If these foundational elements are not maximized, the team will be challenged to deliver outcomes that reflect its potential. Learn the neurobiology behind these elements and what it takes to build and sustain them over time.

Don’t React,

Respond Instead

Understand what leads individuals to react and the elements necessary to choose to respond instead and the role mindset, feelings, and needs play.

Facilitation

for Teams

Facilitation is more than just leading a meeting, it is a valuable skill that helps teams move forward together, ensures all voices are heard, and can surface differences that if not managed may cause tension.

Really Difficult

Conversations

Topics like power, integrity, and ethics are extremely difficult to discuss, even when trust and psychological safety are relatively strong. Continue building skill, capacity, and knowledge to manage this effectively.

Integrating Culture into Team Science

Every individual has a cultural background that contributes to their identity. This workshop introduces a framework teams can use to surface differences and integrate them into how they work together.

Evaluating

Team Science

Evaluation can focus on scientific outputs and team functioning. Understand the fundamentals of creating logic models that create the foundation for continuous learning and improvement.
