The Transition Meeting -- Details

TRANSITION MEETING RESEARCH

Research shows that even healthy, newly formed teams operate unproductively for the first six months if they go through inclusion without the help of a facilitator trained to do a Transition Meeting. Teams like yours can become high performing without help, but it usually takes years, and even then most teams do not perform at optimal levels.

Kaiser Aluminum originally designed the Transition Meeting to dramatically reduce this period of reduced efficiency. It has been so successful that thousands of organizations now require new managers to use this process as a matter of course upon their assignment to a new leadership position.

U.S. Army research showed that teams using the Transition Meeting could increase productivity, efficiency and effectiveness by 40% starting in a couple of weeks, as contrasted with six months. Now that's getting results!
