Hackmans Five-Factor Model Workshop

Read time: 3.5 minutes

Hackman’s Five-Factor Model of Effective Teams provides a framework for understanding what makes a team successful.

It remains widely cited and relevant, particularly in the context of modern, complex, and cross-functional teams.

In this week’s article, I’m sharing a powerful workshop designed to help teams strengthen their foundations using proven principles from team development research.

Whether you’re leading a team or part of one, creating an environment where people collaborate effectively isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for achieving meaningful results.

Yet, most teams fall short because they lack clarity about their goals, roles, and resources, or they fail to address the interpersonal dynamics that drive long-term success.

"Great teams don’t happen by accident—they are intentionally designed, thoughtfully led, and continuously improved.”

Here’s a simple, half-day workshop designed around the insights from Hackman’s Five-Factor Model.

It helps teams evaluate their effectiveness, clarify goals, and build structures for success.

By using this workshop, you’ll never have to struggle with vague goals, unclear roles, or unproductive meetings that drain your team’s energy and potential.
