BETTER TEAMS MAKE BETTER COMPANIES

We believe that team effectiveness is the most critical variable for any organization. Effective teams elevate talent, make great decisions, ship quickly and do great work. On the flip side, dysfunctional teams breed toxicity and kill productivity.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT TEAM?

The foundation of an effective team is set when people and systems compliment one another and are pulling in the same direction.  You can’t focus on the frameworks of one without thinking about the impact on the other. Doing so will create friction that is felt, yet hard to identify. When unnecessary friction between these elements is removed teams get further, faster.

OUR APPROACH

There are a ton of resources on organizational effectiveness. The lessons in these resources often speak to the science behind great teams. The hard part is taking these valuable concepts and translating them to your unique organization. This is what makes Clifden different, we take the science and pair it with the art of application. And we are really fucking good at it.

We help you foster a solid foundation that accelerates the growth of your organization.
