Activities for enhancing team performance
For when you want your teambuilding event to really make a difference
As psychologists we ensure that your teambuilding event will meet your objectives. Your team may be a new or existing team; harmonious or affected by conflict, we provide you with the teambuilding activities that will make a difference to the relationships within your team and the effectiveness of its performance.
A clear teamwork model
Our teambuilding activities are based on a clear model of leadership and teamworking, which focuses on the three critical elements of effective teamwork:
- Self-awareness - what is my team style and how does this impact on the group?
- Team dynamics - how does my team style dynamically interact with the rest of my team?
- Communication and effective group behaviours - how can we improve the way we work together?
We use our Odyssey approach to design activities that evoke a range of human responses associated with communication, decision-making and the constructive management of team dynamics. Like a journey or an adventure, the Odyssey approach ensures that your teambuilding events capture a range of human emotions and motivations. These vary depending on the purposes and nature of the event, but may include: fun, challenge, passion, humour, disclosure, feedback, success, surprise, and learning.
A choice of team-building activities
Whether you choose our off-the-shelf teambuilding activities or ask us to design a tailored teambuilding event you can deploy a repertoire of teambuilding methodologies, including:
- Ice-breaking activities for fun and breaking down barriers
- Activities that enable constructive self-disclosure
- Psychometrics for exploration and awareness of self and others
- Themed activities that simulate the problems and opportunities of real working life
- Outdoor exercises and challenges, which can involve a number of teams in competition
- Activities which provide a context for the team to celebrate its strengths and its successes
- Yacht-based teambuilding - using sailing as a microcosm for team dynamics
How do you choose?
Your choice of activities depends on the purposes of the programme and the nature of your group. You can choose to run an event based on our off-the-shelf teambuilding activities, Tinsel Town, or invite us to design and run a bespoke indoor or outdoor teambuilding event. Whatever the combination of exercises and activities, your teambuilding programmes will be enjoyable, positive, non-threatening and memorable.
