TEAM BUILDING WORKSHOPS Team building workshops improve trust and communication among team members, improve group effectiveness and lessen inappropriate in-group conflict, among other measurable improvements to the organization. Dr. Chester has completed team building projects for several firms, including KPMG and PwC. She has also conducted team building events internationally. Dr. Chester has worked with teams that are in one location and teams that are working virtually with one another in many locations. Many team building events are focused on leaders; others include all members of a team, no matter the title.
Team building should be enjoyable, memorable, and dare we say it? Fun! No one wants to spend the day bored, thinking about all the work they are not getting done and feeling frustrated. A great team building event always has a goal or focus - what are we trying to accomplish? Team Building workshops consistently work best when they are customized to the needs of the team and the needs of the organization as well as the clients or customers that the team serves. Dr. Chester works collaboratively with stakeholders during the initial planning of the team building event. This allows maximum opportunity for success. The best return on investment also occurs when there is follow-up on action steps and deliverables that were identified during the team building day. In this way, authentic team change becomes sustainable. This follow-up is an important, strategic part of the team building event and demonstrates commitment by the organization to the ongoing development of the team or leadership group.
Think about what you have always wanted a team building event to be like and then give Dr. Chester a call. Let's create something that makes a long-term difference!
