TeamWorks for business
Team development with variety and focus
TeamWorks for business focuses on the characteristics of team effectiveness and performance and provides a good insight into identifying and building on individual strengths and development areas. With inter-related experiential business simulations, team-based problem solving & creative thinking scenarios to undertake, the group galvanises itself and explores the ways in which individual and collective strengths can be maximised and areas for development worked on. This is a highly interactive and dynamic experience with a firm focus on fun, interaction and workplace relevance, led by experienced Lead Facilitators
How it works
- The team will rotate as a whole group / in sub-teams around a number of pre-selected indoor business games, team challenges and activities
- The Lead Facilitator is provided with opportunities to observe the team in action and facilitate feedback on how participants contributed and performed while identifying specific action points for the individuals to take forward in a ‘Thinking into Action' whole group review and action planning session at the end of the day.
Key features
- This workshop uses fun, inter-related experiential challenges that bring the team together under a common goal and shared agenda
- Activities can be flexible to suit the space and time available, and to fit your agenda
- Team learning can also be captured through a self-review process using Team Learning Logs
