Team Building


Overview
The Accel-Team Building Developing Synergy Workshop is the most effective and time efficient way to bring about organizational integration and performance improvement.
It dispenses with ineffective gimmicky team building activities and the ‘paralysis through analysis’ profiling of this and that personality type. Instead delegates attending our team building workshop, will critically focus on how their organization operates, what it does, why it does it, where things are done, how they are done, who does what, and to what effect.
Using a variety of innovative techniques, delegates will quickly grasp the ‘big picture’ then step-by-step, drill down to where improvements can be made.
Delegates will find the workshop challenging, exciting, thought provoking and rewarding. Ultimately they will leave the workshop with ideas for improvement and an enthusiastic fresh perspective on:
The world of work
Their roles
Their business process including inputs and outputs
How and why things are measured, plus the effect on people and the effectiveness of such measurement
Group interactions
Team-work
The goals of the organization and most importantly
Areas for individual, inter-groups and organizational performance improvement
Goal and Aim
Rather than fill minds with irrelevant and impractical knowledge our team building workshop has a one simple goal and aim.
The goal is to achieve improvement in the way staff view and do their jobs. This brings about the productivity improvement benefit that all organizations desire.
The aim is to inspire action that improves the way the organization operates and the way staff interact.
Key Features
Uses an 'open systems' model of your organizationYour organization is a complex system, irrespective of its function and size. During the team building process we use a simple open systems model of your organization to explore structural relationships, develop organizational awareness and show cause and effect relationships, in order to bring about the performance improvements you are looking for.
The Team Building Developing Synergy Workshop is scaleableThis means you can concentrate on a group, or a number of groups. Using the open systems approach to model effective team building, you can include representatives from inter alia (upstream) suppliers and or (downstream) customers. It's a simple matter of identifying where you wish to bring about change (improvement), apply the open systems model, diagnose it, then explore the results using the various
team building exercises and activities devised to specifically explore, analyze then improve productivity.
Customization of the Team Building Magic workshop to your organizationCustomization is key to successful performance improvement outcomes. The pre-workshop delivery phase requires modeling of your organization, the use powerful trending techniques on key performance indicators (can be internal and or external indicators,) the identification of 'special interest groups' (SIGs) to be role played, the guest speakers, to deliver short sharp 'buzz sessions' and so on.
Powerful, illuminating, constructive and educational role playing (using SIGs)Role playing is used during the team building process to enable delegates to examine the organizational environment from differing perspectives. This meaningful and relevant role playing can be extended during or after the workshop by site visits to other locations such as to the premises of suppliers, customers or other locations within your organization.
