Offered as a 1 day - 4 day team building experience, the TIA program provides a rich experience through:
- Understanding what you and your team members bring to a team situation
- Experience ‘the journey’, a set of team building challenges designed to engage your team in complex problem solving. This highly synergistic experience builds trust and garnishes respect between team members.
- Large team challenges, 10-30 members working together to reach a common goal bringing to light the complexities of working as a large team. The challenge of geographic and functional diversity is captured in the challenges, with the learnings applied back to the workplace.
- Explore facilitative leadership as you’ve never experienced it before!
Program participants rave about the experience, and return to work with a renewed confidence and appreciation for and commitment to working more as a team. The shared experience involving working together on tasks which are unfamiliar and which require a high degree of interdependence quickly builds trust and rapport across the team. Skills learnt are directly transferable as too are the tools presented.
