Do OD Conference XI: meet our exhibitors

TED is a powerful team diagnostic and  toolkit with resources that are designed to enable team leaders to have structured and meaningful conversations with their team. 
The tool helps team leaders to explore what it feels like to work in their team and helps identify improvements that would make the biggest difference to team performance and engagement. 
TED is designed to empower; providing team members with a voice whilst simultaneously building the capability of team leaders to have the conversations that matter the most to their team.
Developed internally by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals in 2016, it was initially designed in response to the NHS Staff Survey results and increasing requests of the organisational development (OD) team to support individual team development interventions.
By enabling and building the capability of team leaders to take ownership of their own team development, it has allowed OD to focus on more holistic, strategic-level improvements to deliver whole organisation performance enhancements.
