Start Building Cohesive, Connected Teams

High-performing teams are essential to business success. When teams are aligned and connected, organizations accelerate progress, enhance agility, and build resilience. When collaboration is intentional, teams don’t just work better—they solve problems faster, adapt quicker, and deliver results that stick.

The difference between thriving and struggling organizations often hinges on one critical factor: whether their teams are truly performing at their full potential. That’s not just a theory; it’s a research-backed reality:

Cohesive teams are more engaged, more willing to collaborate, and better able to deliver results—and team training and development is one of the most effective ways to build that connection.

The bottom line is that organizations that prioritize team training and development lay the foundation for stronger collaboration, sustained performance, and a clear alignment around shared goals—critical drivers of team success.

…It was a great experience, and I came away with two highlights: 1.) The High Performance Teamwork Survey was VERY valuable in eliciting feedback from team members. 2.) Spending time working on our team challenges and issues was invaluable. I would like to spend more time on it next time we have CMOE onsite.

CMOE’s Approach to Building High-Performing Teams

At CMOE, we recognize that improving team performance is not a universal formula. Every organization has its own culture, dynamics, and goals. That’s why our approach is built on tailored, research-backed solutions designed to deliver lasting impact.

Our methodology to improve team performance is anchored in four key principles:

  • Evidence-based practices: Tools and strategies backed by decades of organizational research and practical application.
  • Sustainable systems: Follow-up processes that ensure change sticks and continues to drive results over time.
  • Measurable outcomes: A focus on tangible results, not just theory.
  • Customization: Program options and consulting services are tailored and optimized to address the needs of your team or organization.

Since 1978, we have partnered with organizations across industries—from healthcare to technology, manufacturing to finance—enabling leaders to unlock the full potential of their teams.

The transformation from fragmented teams to integrated, high-performing ones is not theoretical, it is proven. CMOE has guided organizations such as Abbott, DHL, Expedia, Molson Coors, Siemens, and ASML through their own journeys of team development and performance transformation.

Case Study: From Fragmentation to Flow

Problem:

A global manufacturing company was struggling. Friction between engineering teams and production teams had spiraled into missed deadlines, customer dissatisfaction, and low morale. Turnover was rising, and the organization’s reputation as an employer was at risk.
A global manufacturing company was struggling. Friction between engineering and production operations had spiraled to missed deadlines, customer dissatisfaction, and declining morale. Employee turnover was rising, and the organization was at risk of reputational damage within the industry.

Solution:

The leadership partnered with CMOE to implement a High-Performance Teamwork Initiative. It included quarterly leadership summits, team sessions grounded in trust, accountability, and cross-functional collaboration, lean leadership principles to reduce micromanagement, and a renewed focus on shared results.

Results:

  • Improved product quality and delivery adherence
  • Higher customer satisfaction and stronger retention
  • Improved accountability and workforce stability, reinforcing supplier reliability.

This is what success looks like. Teams move from stalled, stuck, and fragmented to energized, unified, and results-driven.
