These include:
1. Team Booster
1.5 – 3-day offsite workshops for teams who have already worked together for a while, but who need a boost and/or address hard and soft issues within the team and their key stakeholders.
Pre-workshop preparation process & diagnosis:
(Usually 3-4 weeks before the workshop)
In order to obtain an accurate diagnosis of the team’s current issues, strengths and weaknesses, and therefore to focus the Team Booster workshop on addressing the key issues, the following process is followed:
• 2 interviews with the Team Leader (one at the beginning of the pre-workshop preparation process, and one at the end).
• In between, interviews with each team member, who will each be asked the same set of questions on an anonymous basis. (These interviews can be held face-to-face or virtually).
• The results will be collated in the form of easily digestible mind-maps and used to define the key objectives of the workshop. The results will be shown first to the Team Leader at the 2nd Interview, and to the whole team, shortly before the start of the Team Booster workshop.
• The 2nd interview with the Team Leader will review the results and key objectives, agenda and contents of the workshop, recommended by the facilitator based on what the team has said.
• Once this and the logistical issues are agreed, the Team Booster workshop is ready to happen.
• Note: the type of location (offsite) and spending at least 1-2 nights together is a critical element in the success of the workshop.
