Client Quote:
"With S&A's design and facilitation, our merged team talked frankly about our negative perceptions of the moves, and finally came around to committing to working together to make it all work." | ||

Team building workshops can be very beneficial to self-directed teams, cross-functional teams, new teams just forming, two separate teams that are being merged into one team, teams experiencing the loss of members due to reorganization or downsizing, and on-going intact work teams. Goals for each team building session are determined by the team, team leader or manager. S&A does not have a specific "team building formula" that all teams must complete. Instead, every team building session is custom-designed to fit the specific team situation, issues, time functioning as a team, and priority goals. S&A is very flexible in scheduling team building sessions. Sessions can vary in length of time and days, such as two eight-hour sessions, 5 half-day sessions, two days every quarter, to multiple sessions over a period of a year or more. Expert facilitation allows groups to focus on achieving their goals. Sample team building goals are: improving communication; dealing with issues, events or other strains that are negatively affecting team productivity; allowing members to get acquainted personally; clarifying the team's customers and customer requirements; determining annual team goals; redesigning new business processes; handling service or product complaints; developing peer coaching skills to enhance personal and team effectiveness; identifying the values by which team decisions and actions are to be made; determining meeting norms and how decisions will be made; and "just-in-time" training in specific skills. |
Outcomes of team building workshops are typically increased communication, enhanced team effectiveness and greater satisfaction on the part of both team members and management. For further information regarding team building services, feel free to contact us. | |
