Program Title: GO TEAM… MY TEAM! A seminar workshop on team building
I. Overview
A Rhythms facilitated team building workshop is an effective, time efficient yet enjoyable way to bring about organizational integration and performance improvement.
We do away with ineffective gimmicky team building activities and the ‘paralysis through analysis’ profiling of individual personality types. Instead paraticipants attending our team building workshop, will critically focus on how their organization operates, what it does, why it does it, where things are done, how they are done, who does what, and to what effect.
Using a variety of innovative and fun techniques, delegates will quickly grasp the ‘big picture’ then step-by-step, drill down to where improvements can be made.
Participants will find the workshop challenging, exciting, thought provoking and rewarding. Ultimately they will leave the workshop with ideas for improvement and an enthusiastic fresh perspective on:
• The world of work
• Their roles
• Their business process including inputs and outputs
• How and why things are measured, plus the effect on people and the effectiveness of such measurement
• Group interactions
• Team-work
• The goals of the organization and most importantly
• Areas for individual, inter-groups and organizational performance improvement
II. Goal and Aim
Our team building workshop has a simple, doable and achievable goal and aim.
• Our goal is to achieve improvement in the way all members of the team/organization (whether management or rank and file) view and do their jobs. This brings about the productivity improvement benefit that all organizations desire.
• Our aim is to inspire action that improves the way the organization operates and the way staff interact.
III. Key Features
• Uses an 'open systems' model of your organization

Your organization is a complex system, irrespective of its function and size. During the team building process we use a simple open systems model of your organization to explore structural relationships, develop organizational awareness and show cause and effect relationships, in order to bring about the performance improvements you are looking for.
• The team building workshop is scaleable
This means you can concentrate on a group, or a number of groups. Using the open systems approach to model effective team building, you can include representatives from either management and/or employees. It's a simple matter of identifying where you wish to bring about change (improvement), apply the open systems model, diagnose it, then explore the results using the various team building exercises and activities devised to specifically explore, analyze then improve productivity.
• Customization of the team building workshop to your organization

Customization is key to successful performance improvement outcomes. The pre-workshop delivery phase requires modeling of your organization, the use powerful trending techniques on key performance indicators (can be internal and or external indicators,) the identification of 'special interest groups' (SIGs) to be role played, the guest speakers, to deliver short sharp 'buzz sessions' and so on.
