This case study explored the links between the developmental profiles of three groups working in a semigovernmental organization in Central America, and it suggests strategies to improve the effectiveness and productivity of those groups. The findings suggested that a brief intervention based on a detailed analysis of a group’s developmental level can produce significant changes in that group’s level of functioning and productivity. Although these results are promising, more studies, employing a more rigorous research design, will be necessary to confirm these findings.
