Team Development Events - Simulation Based

Simulation / skills building
This is a type of event where a team, or groups of teams focus on building skills and using various techniques proficiently. It would typically be one or two days in duration, on or off site.

There is a great range of tools that teams can learn to use more effectively: active ideas building, achieving consensus, creativity techniques, decision analysis, and so on. This sort of event can also help the team to understand how organisational decision-making processes operate.

The event consists of an exercise, or a series of them that are designed to mirror the work environment. This exercise can be developed from generic materials to suit your particular situation.

Case Studies: Systematic Working and Decision Making

With our help, a multinational organisation designed a training course which would be suitable for any of its international R&D project teams. It featured several simulations, simplified versions of real problems that the organsiation had encountered in the past. Teams were encouraged to use a recommended systematic method to address these problems, and come to consensus decisions.

The course was delivered in a variety of locations within the firm, and for many teams. Its effect was to build understanding about useful team tools, positive behaviours such as better listening, and importantly a common approach to problem-solving and decision-making, emphasising rational analysis rather than debate and assumption. The simulation could be altered to run with several sub-teams, occasionally mimicking the 'virtual team' environment of remote communication.
