Case Studies
Team Development Programmes
Each of our programmes are designed to suit the needs of each specific group. We work with our clients to design and deliver programmes fit for purpose, that have the maximum impact and have a real return on investment.
In our design we consider:
Programme Objectives, Duration, Best type of learning methodology (Classroom/Outdoor etc), Level of analysis (if any), Where the training fits into your overall development plan, if follow up modules are required and possible locations/venues to make the experience unique.
See a sample of our case studies outlined below. These include:
Team Activity Programmes
At times the requirement for a team programme is for the group to experience a series of team activities that enables the group to bond and have fun by doing tasks/ activities together.
Differing from a team development programme (where there is a more analysis and reflection) these activity programmes are designed as enjoyable, participatory and memorable experiences.
Sample programme include:
- Team Activity Programme
- Art attack
- Movie Making/ “15 famous minutes”
- It’s a Knockout
- Mission Impossible
- Drumming Workshops
The Best of Both Worlds
The question is sometimes asked by our clients if they can have “a bit of both” – a combination of team activities and a team development programme with analysis/reflection etc.
Yes is the answer.
We have the expertise, experience and ability to combine both based on what you want. In fact this is what we feel is our unique offering as we can combine both. Offering high level facilitation with a wide variety of unique, enjoyable experiences.
