Teamwork: Functional and Intact Teams

EXPLORING TEAMWORK
There are many types of work groups and teams that can exist in organizations. Few, however, function at peak levels. Because effective teamwork can be challenging to achieve, CMOE's Exploring Teamwork Workshop assists teams with cores issues such as improving communication, tapping into creativity, maximizing resources, overcoming resistance, dealing with change in a positive way, and increasing productivity.

Exploring Teamwork is a powerful, experienced-based workshop that shows participants how to build and sustain a high performance team, as well as how to develop teamwork skills at the individual level. The experiential nature of the training, combined with adult learning methods, ensures an exciting and memorable event. Participants walk away with an integrated set of skills, knowledge, and plans to renew team spirit, enhance performance, and improve team leadership. When these skills are applied, teams are stronger, more productive, and more aligned in purpose than ever before.

The Exploring Teamwork learning event is tailored for intact teams, cross-functional teams, or a mixed group of individuals. The learning is customized to each organization's specific team issues and needs.

TEAM BUILDING RETREATS

Our staff can plan and/or facilitate high-impact team building retreats that promote interaction among Executive Teams, Operating Teams, and Cross-Functional Teams. These sessions are designed to enhance performance and unity by focusing on team strategies, goals, relationships, trust, communication, conflict, etc. Active "experiential" learning is used and discussions are facilitated around important and practical issues.

Team Building Retreats are designed to support and reinforce functioning teams, as well as teams experiencing some degree of tension or stress. These retreats are for teams of any size and are carefully planned and coordinated around each client's needs and requirements. It can be a one-time experience or part of an ongoing process to maintain optimum performance.
