Team building
Creating efficient and collaborative teams requires space for connection and reflection. We support teams to solidify common values and ways of working, to build rapport and to evolve together.
We devise processes to suit your team’s unique circumstances, whether it’s a new group, or a team working through change or challenge.
Groupwork’s approach to team building
Teams often need some regrouping or enhancing, especially after significant upheaval or change. Teams can become flat or lack a sense of collaboration and common ownership of principles and practices.
Our team building workshops are tailored to the particular team’s circumstances and needs. We often find that the best ‘team building’ we can do is facilitate the team to talk about their important issues, and to collaboratively develop solutions to these.
In all cases, we start by confirming your purpose and identifying your needs. This might include:
identifying processes to work well together
dealing with challenging behaviour
making good decisions that stick
managing conflict
navigating change
project or team formation
We then design a process to meet your needs.
Outcomes of team building
Team forming and building sessions directly support:
shared ownership of group purpose
commonly held values and ways of working
clarity of roles & purpose
effective communication
greater collaboration
an awareness of team strengths and how to capitalise on them
improved decision-making.
“The workshop helped us to clear the "space", name issues in the team, learn microskills and build a better team culture.”
