Team Flow: From Concept to Application

Herwith a link to the thesis in which team flow is conceptualized and scientifically tested in practice.

Research has shown that the psychological state of flow provides great benefits to people in many aspects of life, including work environments. So far, however, flow has been studied primarily at the individual level within work contexts, while complex tasks in professional organizations are often performed by teams. Studies of “team flow” are relatively scarce. Despite the recognized potential of optimal experiences (flow) to promote effectiveness, productivity, performance, skills and well-being, little research has been done on how teams can reap the benefits of flow, especially in the workplace.

Clinical team flow in the perioperative environment: a qualitative single-centre study

To improve team dynamics in the operating room (OR), this study examined the concept of “team flow.” Key success factors included familiarity, complementary skills, open communication and aligned goals. Interventions that focus on these factors (through structure and training) can significantly improve collaboration and efficiency in the OR.

Becoming a world champion while in burnout

In 2014, Solar Team Eindhoven started to compete in the 2015 World Solar Challenge for the second time. Tommie Perenboom was part of the team that year and now, after four years, looks back on what it brought him. From his experience, we learn how important psychological safety is in preventing burnout. Together with Tommie, we look back on which elements of the Team Flow Model were present or not present at what time.

Wondering how we can increase the likelihood of team flow within your organization?

Let’s schedule an intake session to see how we can help you move forward.
