Our teambuilding process utilizes a high-impact model of team
effectiveness as a baseline. Specific client needs are
typically determined through interviews and pre-session surveys.
We frequently use
powerful personality profiling instruments to help team members
better understand both how they themselves and how their
teammates prefer to interact and communicate. We present
this information in a context that is easily understood,
retained and applied. We routinely combine personality profiling with a mixture of mini seminars on
subjects such as creativity and team effectiveness, utilizing fun and games
as appropriate, to create a unique, memorable and
highly effective teambuilding experience.
We offer a
series of highly successful teambuilding programs.
However, we are frequently asked to use our extensive experience
and powerful toolset to develop customized events designed to
address specific client needs. Standard teambuilding program offerings
include:
Jump Start -
A one-day
structured session to accelerate the integration of a new manager and an intact
or newly formed team, dramatically improving team performance as a result. Can
also be applied to integrate new team members to an existing team. Should be
conducted within 3 - 4 weeks of the new manager’s arrival.
Team Start -
A two-day process to define and
clarify the mission, vision, value proposition, goals, strategy, roles,
processes and relationships for newly formed or intact teams; the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI*) is
utilized to significantly enhance the quality of working relationships across
the team. Team Start is frequently employed to develop strategic direction for
an organization or to help accelerate a major transformation, starting with the
senior management team. This process can be extended as a large group
intervention to cover several hundred members of an organization as required.
High Impact Team
Effectiveness -
A one-day
seminar leveraging the unique strengths of the MBTI to help team members improve interpersonal relationships by increasing knowledge of personality
type and the role it plays in the relationship development process.
Participants develop a deeper understanding of their strengths and potential
blind spots and learn to spot type in others in order to improve their
interaction skills. Useful for improving influence skills with clients,
managers, subordinates, team members and others throughout the organization.
Group and Team Interventions
-
Sometimes groups and/or teams develop interpersonal problems,
problems so serious that the work environment becomes
uncomfortable, or even untenable, and productivity is negatively
impacted. Working with groups and/or teams in crisis
requires a very special skill set. Although every
intervention is unique and must be dealt with accordingly, we
have handled many critical, highly sensitive situations over the
years and are masters at creating a safe, yet controlled
forum for drawing out and dealing with even the toughest of
issues. Rest assured that we treat all such
events with sensitivity, professionalism and confidence.
Work Smart -
A one to two-day
team-oriented problem solving session with a specific focus (ex - "reduce
development cycle time by 40 %"). Employs creative thinking tools to help get
participants outside the box to generate breakthrough solutions to current
problems and challenges.
