Team Building to
Improve Communication, Engagement, Productivity
Team Building is an
excellent resource for teams to improve overall effectiveness in all
areas of a company. It is valuable to identify prior to a session
exactly what the stakeholders would like to accomplish from the
session. There should be a pre-program consultation to gain this
understanding and commitment to the process.
From this
information, exercises are selected to promote communication and give
participants first-hand experience in learning skills, attitudes,
goals, engagement, expectations and ways to develop a culture that
will support these goals. These exercises are interactive and
improvisational, meant to maximize the
creativity of individuals and the group. Laughter and fun are part of the curriculum.
Participants will not only gain new perspectives about issues within their organizations but also about new paradigms that promote change.
As an alternative, teams may want
to engage in pure creativity—painting on a canvas for pure enjoyment and camaraderie. These classes can be held outdoors or inside. A community
project could also be incorporated to provide an element of service and community outreach.
