Accelerate excellence in multidisciplinary teams

High-Performance Teams

Rockstars. Racecars. Digital superstars. Whatever the field, top value comes from top performance. But for complex projects, you need more than individual genius. That’s why we bring together leading specialists from all key disciplines, forming High-Performance Teams (HPTs) that meet – and exceed – your key objectives.

Inside a Sopra Steria team

All our HPTs are tight-knit networks with the perfect range of skillsets for the task at hand. Fully aligned on project outcomes and governance, everyone knows their role. Their responsibilities. And how each contribution shapes an exceptional outcome. Our people love to work this way – and because our HPTs are driven by customer outcomes at every stage, our clients love it too. They also appreciate how our regular, clear communication keeps everyone connected – and the project on track.

What makes our teams tick?

Consider any great team. Every member is focused on a shared goal, stays aligned with that vision – no matter what – and keeps striving to reach new heights of excellence.

At Sopra Steria, we haven’t just found the secret of top performance – we’ve industrialised it. Understanding that every team needs the right drive and goal direction, we replicate our HPT approach across projects – with consistently high results.

Let's Talk

Assembling our industrialised approach

Our HPT framework is based on deep knowledge of challenges faced by teams – and how to overcome them. While this template is adaptable for different projects, we build all our teams on rock-solid governance foundations. Through years of experience and study, we’ve refined this approach into three core elements.

Flying Start

We select the right mix of skills and personalities, beginning with a well-prepared kickoff to ensure a unified goal.

Alignment Excellence

We use clear metrics to track progress and team health, ensuring our efforts harmonize to deliver the desired results.

Continuous Improvement

HPTs constantly self-assess and improve, guided by client feedback and custom metrics.

We’ve built a smooth machine. Fancy a drive?

Across the Benelux, we currently have over 130 HPTs achieving outstanding results. With employees highly engaged and customer satisfaction scores outperforming industry standards, we’re constantly proving the success of our lightweight, fully customisable method.

Our HPT method isn’t a special case; it’s companywide. That clear focus enables consistent investment in our teams, providing every member with the coaching and support they need to keep evolving – and thriving. Our teams can meet your dreams.

Semantic data modeling at the National Police

Title : Semantic data modeling at the National Police

Button label :

Image being a Police officer. Your task is to enforce the law and help those that are in need. And although you have many colleagues, there is always a lot to do. You need to be informed fast and correctly so you can act quickly on the most urgent and serious case. You need to be able to inform others, so they can do the same. And you need to be careful: you are dealing with information about real people. Some are criminals, some are in need of help, and some are actually the victim of a crime.

The National Police has an increasing amount of data available from various sources to carry out their tasks. Understanding the meaning of all this data and managing the complexity of integrating this data is becoming an ever-greater challenge. Observations in both the physical and digital domains, expressed in a lot of different ways, need to be aggregated into collective knowledge within the police force. This calls for a different way of organizing knowledge.

Sopra Steria has helped the Police in this task with a High Performance team, executing our Semantic Data Management approach. Our approach is based on well-known international standards and aligned with best practices used within the Dutch government agencies.

Our team has delivered:

Thesauri and taxonomies in which the police concepts are documented by applying widely used international standards (like SKOS).
A police enterprise ontology containing the investigation and enforcement processes, and the models that describe which data are relevant for these processes.
Frameworks and guidelines for the IT development teams, including UX interaction frameworks.
Tooling based on the semantic model to create semantically rich police reports, and to extract new concepts from laws and regulations.

We have ensured that the Dutch National Police has an organized data landscape. We are helping the data management department take a major step in working in a data-driven way, where meaningful communication between officers occurs without confusion, and connections are made with police policy, laws and regulations. As a result, the department has substantive control and can optimally contribute to the different programs within the Police.
