Intact Team Building
Would your workgroup benefit from a more positive culture or better relationships? The teambuilding process begins with an assessment to determine needs and desired outcomes for your group. Based on those results, a program is designed where learning goals can include:
more positive cultural norms, examination of leadership and support roles, exploration of behavioral styles and how they contribute to the whole, effective communication skills, problem solving strategies, decision making methods, identification and appreciation of different strengths
“The traditional weakness of experiential team building is the difficulty in applying the new learning in the workplace […] this is the strength that Out On A Limb provides through debriefing and group discussion or practical applications following each exercise.”
- Vice President BASF
Inter-Team Building
Have the Research & Marketing Departments or Accounting & Sales get together to better understand and appreciate one another. Different work teams have different skills, and consequently, different personalities which can rub one another in the wrong way. Understanding why different personalities often don’t understand each other is the start to better relations. By participating and having fun in team activities (that have nothing to do with work, yet have everything to do with how to work together) can break down barriers, judgement and lack of appreciation. Teams come away with a renewed understanding and appreciation of how the different personalities and strengths contribute to the effective working of the whole team.
