Team Building That’s Customized, Actionable, and Impactful
A team can be filled with brilliant individuals, but its true potential is only realized when it works effectively together.
Cooper Management Consulting designs team-building experiences that address each team’s specific challenges, identify individual strengths, and foster an environment where conversation, collaboration, and trust drive success.
The Challenge
When Iain Webb, Vice President of U.S. Medical Affairs for Oncology at a Fortune 50 pharmaceutical company, stepped into his new leadership role, he inherited a talented but disengaged team.
Under previous leadership, team members had been siloed and underutilized. They lacked clarity on responsibilities and visibility within the organization. Iain wanted to change that by empowering his team, highlighting their expertise, and helping them take ownership of their work.
Meanwhile, Alla Piltser, Managing Director and Global Head of Technology & Architecture at a Fortune 50 financial services company, faced a different challenge. Her highly technical team had grown quickly in responsibility, but many members had never received formal leadership training. They now needed to collaborate across departments, manage direct reports, and demonstrate stronger influence and executive presence.
Both leaders turned to Cooper Management Consulting — who they knew firsthand could deliver transformational results.
The Solution
CMC designed fully customized team-building experiences for each leader’s unique goals.
Alla’s Team
Two-day off-site facilitation focused on leadership fundamentals and self-reflection
Hogan Assessments for each team member
Stakeholder interviews to identify team strengths and opportunities
Exercises to build awareness, confidence, and influence
“It made the team building very specific to my team,” Alla said. “They gained a better understanding of themselves and of the team they’re part of.”
Iain’s Team
In-depth stakeholder and team interviews to understand expectations, perceptions, and challenges
Team assessments to uncover motivators, needs, and frustrations
Facilitated workshops to share feedback, align understanding, and clarify expectations
“Hearing the feedback and responding to it was huge,” Iain said. “It was eye-opening for many on the team to realize their roles and how others viewed their value.”
The Results
For Iain’s Team
Greater clarity around roles and responsibilities
More proactive collaboration and ownership
Increased visibility and influence within the organization
“Most of the team now takes ownership of their work and proactively shares ideas,” Iain said. “There’s also more clarity around my role as a leader, which helps empower the team further.”
For Alla’s Team
Heightened self-awareness through ongoing feedback and surveys
Stronger communication, collaboration, and leadership behaviors
More time for Alla to focus on strategy and long-term planning
“I see a big difference in how my team operates,” Alla said. “They’re spending less time on technical details and more time on relationships and stakeholder conversations. They’re more collaborative and focused on the value we deliver.”
Alla also noted that CMC’s continued follow-up has helped her quantify and demonstrate her team’s growing impact to senior leadership.
“Because CMC continues to collect feedback, it serves as a tangible way to show our team’s value — not just to stakeholders, but to my own leadership.”
The Impact
The ripple effect of Cooper Management Consulting’s team-building programs extends far beyond the initial engagement.
“These conversations brought the team closer and developed trust,” Alla said. “Now my team goes to each other for coaching and different viewpoints. They’re supporting each other — which, to me, is the definition of a well-functioning team.”
