team PROGRAM
A Co-createD and TAILORED program to empower your PEOPLE
and transform your TEAM
Program overview
The Team Program provides organisations with the flexibility to create a team experience tailored to their unique context, priorities, and challenges. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, this program is co-designed in partnership with the client, enabling teams to engage in a learning journey that is directly relevant and immediately applicable. This ensures the program aligns with organisational goals while addressing the real and emerging challenges of leadership teams.
At the core of the program is a modular design, allowing organisations to select from a suite of proven team development modules. These include Leading Self, High-Performing Teams, Peer as Coach, and Navigating Change. Each module is designed to build capability in a specific area of team effectiveness, while also contributing to an integrated and cohesive development experience.
A TEAM EXPERIENCE
TAILORED TO YOUR UNIQUE CONTEXT,
PRIORITIES AND CHALLENGES
The program also includes modules focused on communication and relationships, such as High-Impact Interpersonal Communication and High-Performance Conversations. Additional modules, including Organisational Values and Psychological Safety, further strengthen the cultural foundations required for high-performing and aligned teams.
PROGRAM DELIVERY
The Team Program is delivered using the Australian Leadership Academy’s blended, experiential learning approach, combining self-paced prework, high-impact facilitated workshops, applied application, and reflective learning. This structured approach ensures team members arrive prepared, maximise in-session learning, and actively apply shared practices within their team and organisational context throughout the learning journey. Each stage is intentionally designed to progressively strengthen how team members work together while reinforcing practical workplace application and sustained team effectiveness.

The module supports participants to align behaviours with organisational values, strengthening consistency, accountability, and cultural alignment across teams.
ORGANISATIONAL VALUES
