Breaking down Barriers
In this skills session exercise, teams will be provided the opportunity to present their priorities and needs, whilst giving feedback on how well they feel supported in achieving their objectives.
A high level of engagement will follow as the teams gain an understanding on how to develop and strengthen inter team collaboration.Teams will receive valuable feedback, very often including praise from other team members.
Our breaking down barriers program can be performed in both small and larger groups and provides an invaluable format for conference groups.
Action Forum
Team Building Singapore provides an excellent action forum. Facilitating the group through a series of issues, we can help to create solutions that can be easy to implement. Everyone has an opportunity to contribute their ideas by adding appropriate notes to a sheet containing the questions in hand.
The sheet is then worked through by the relevant teams, with the suggestions being dealt with in turn. This method of working proves to be very powerful in getting results, proving that brainstorming shouldn’t take as long as it often does.
Effective solutions are gained having taking into account the entire teams thoughts and ideas.
Team Synergy
Our team synergy event provides a dramatic background to prove the power of teamwork. During this activity teams will understand that when they work as a whole they can outperform individuals, even when those individuals possess higher skill levels. Lessons are learned about the conditions that are required to make these events happen.
This high energy exercise is carried out in a fun way, helping to ensure that these lessons are fully absorbed.
What does it take to create 1 + 1 to equal 3?
This event places small teams in a situation where the decisions that they make can result in life or death. Information is provided that puts the teams into a real survival situation, they must quickly decide where their priorities lie. Questions that will need answering include:
- What items do we need to survive?
- What are the steps that we need to take?
- Should we stay put or leave?
At the end of the survival process each team’s conclusions are compared. Some addition areas are then reviewed:
- Did every one contribute to the discussion, what prevented this from happening?
- Was a consensus within the group reached, if so how strong was it?
- If there were differences of opinion, how were they handled?
The end of this event will see teams receiving feedback on their performance. Their results are compared with that of the other teams.
The outcome of whether or not the teams lived or died will depend on their ability to achieve a synergy with the decision that was made. The important key elements for achieving a team synergy and the steps for a consensus of decision making are then explained. Aspects will include:
- The conditions that allow for effective team work
- What is a consensus decision making process and how it can really work
- The interpersonal skills which are needed to make teams work together
- The essential ingredients of creating synergy
The Tender – Customer focus vs. Product Driven
This fun activity will require participants to demonstrate what it really takes to win a customer’s business from a consultative approach. The team will be given a brief in which they will need to work to, ultimately coming up with a proposition that the customer just cannot refuse.
