New Team Integration

New teams must go through recognised stages of development before they can deliver high performance. This two-day event will kick start the development of a new team and help the team to understand what a team is (and what it isn’t), who does what and how the communication process works.

 

Course Objectives

By the end of the offsite, the team members will have:

• learned about and understood each other better;
• identified the characteristics of a successful team;
• understood the new team’s role within the ‘big picture’
• explored opportunities and challenges facing the team;
• developed and articulated core team values;
• identified and prioritised what they need to do first.

 

Pre-Work

Each participant will complete a team working profile questionnaire (Myers Briggs Test) to be shared and explored at the offsite, giving insight into each other’s behaviour.
