The teamworking approach is recognised as the route to effective management and is the vital ingredient in maintaining and sustaining competitive advantage. Teamwork not only creates the vehicle for implementing the organisation’s objectives; it also assists in mobilising its latent potential by drawing upon the combined intellect of the company’s human resource. This workshop has been designed to develop both of these key team activities; it examines the concept of team work and demonstrates that working as a team is a great deal more powerful than people just working in groups.

Delegates who attend this workshop will recognise the special differences between successful & unsuccessful teams. They gain a greater understanding of team dynamics and the value of teamwork for their organisation by giving them:

• A better understanding of what leads to team effectiveness.
• A basis for diagnosing team problems & some ideas on how to prevent teamwork problems from developing in the first place.
• The management skills necessary to ensure the effective development & success of teams.

This section examines the raw materials that create effective teams, relationships with other teams, constructive conflict and competition and individual relationships within a team.

To enable teams to be effectively created the following is to be examined:

• What skills are available in the team?
• What attributes does the team have?

A number of factors will be critical to the successful evolution of the team & consequently it’s performance. These include:
