THE NEWS ABOUT TEAMS

The good news: The smarter, more competent and more diverse your team members are, the more raw potential and creativity your team has...

The bad news: The smarter, more competent and more diverse your team members are, the more potential there is for conflict and miscommunication.

OUR TEAMBUILDING SERVICES ARE DESIGNED TO:

Harness the strengths, talents and creativity of your team members while removing the conflicts and obstacles that limit their performance as a team.

We help clarify your team goals, assess the gap between current and future performance, and then build a model of team effectiveness that fits your group's unique strengths and goals. We don't believe in "one size fits all." We then provide you with a set of practices that allow your team to continue at peak functioning long after we're gone.

TEAMBUILDING HELPS WHEN:

•	Your team is experiencing personality conflicts, turf wars, ineffective communication, or mix-ups around responsibilities and priorities.

•	You are part of a new, growing, or established team with little cohesion that needs to start working together quickly to reach its goals.

•	Your team spends time together but doesn't produce the quality of decisions or solutions that you expect.

CALL US IF YOU WANT:

•	Accelerated team development to produce a higher quality of product or service;

•	Increased collaboration, trust, mutual accountability and commitment;

•	Productive and healthy dialogue and debate to arrive at best solutions;

•	Better use of group time (more effective meetings);

•	Ways for individuals to align their goals with team goals;

•	More fun, camaraderie, and team spirit!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

1.	First, we clarify and quantify your team's performance goals;

2.	Then we identify skills and performance gaps through team assessments or interviews;

3.	With your performance goals in mind, we fill the gaps through targeted training and coaching;

4.	We use assessments like the Myers-Briggs, the Strength Deployment Inventory and the FIRO-B to help improve your team's communication and problem-solving skills;

5.	We combine experiences, like Ropes Courses and Outdoor Challenges, as well as indoor teambuilding exercises, to work on "live" issues and watch your team in action. This is the best way to learn!

6.	We provide you with a customized set of tools to help you maintain team performance after we leave.

Teambuilding is a process, not an "event." So although it might be tempting to try to get the desired results at a one-day motivational seminar, your biggest success occurs when your team commits to a minimum of four days together, in some combination, over some period of time.

	Noticeable Improvement in Team Effectiveness "I am very pleased with the progress that has been made with both teams in such a short period of time. [My manager] has commented to me several times that he has seen a noticeable improvement in team effectiveness to communicate and in individual cooperation to exchange ideas and share project information more openly. The time invested in this teambuilding was invaluable for all."
