Team Building and Development
We help teams to improve their productivity, effectiveness and performance, by working with them on their roles, relationships objectives and goals. Leadership and management teams in organisations such as IBM, Manpower, Geodis, the Youth Hostel Association and First Wessex Housing Group have all benefitted from the team development activities that we have delivered.
We work to ensure that we fully understand the needs of your organisation and culture and the pressures, challenges and issues that are facing your team. We start by initially ‘base lining’ team performance and behaviour with a view to monitoring and measuring the impact of our team development work.
We can help your leadership and management teams to:
- Clarify the organisation’s vision, values, and strategic direction.
- Prioritise and focus key projects and deliverables.
- Generate greater understanding, cooperation and team work between team members.
- Reduce interpersonal competition and conflict.
- Improve operational and bottom line performance such as improved sales, customer service and productivity.
Our team development activities are designed to meet the specific needs of your team, organisation and culture. We have a wide selection of events and activities on offer, and whatever your group size, or budget, our expert team will put together a bespoke package to meet your needs.
Our events include for example:
- Specific work based team development activities focussed on: clarifying team goals, roles, improving communications, interactions and sharing of knowledge and skills.
- Charity based team development events. We work in partnership with a range of charities to provide creative and challenging team working experiences that take teams outside of their normal working environment to further enhance team work and also leadership behaviour. Of equal importance, the activities provide something lasting and of value to the charity concerned.
- Non work related indoor and outdoor activities that challenge individuals and teams both cerebrally and physically and enable them to build more effective and productive working relationships.
To find out more about our team development events, all you need to do is to provide us with the outline of the type of event you require and we will provide you with a team development proposal and costs.
What makes us unique is our ability to quickly understand the exact needs of your team and organisation, and to develop the right interventions that will deliver measurable team, organisational and business benefits.

Manpower case study »Case Study: S C Johnson
To achieve S C Johnson’s aims, we developed an approach based around the Team Management Systems Psychometric profile. The instrument gives valuable insights into the way people prefer to work in a team, as well as their communication, decision making and leadership styles.
