Session Detail

Spend three hours with your remote team to discuss the ingredients of high performing teams. How does your team stack up and what improvements can you make?

There's also time for some team spirit boosting, appreciating each team member for the unique strengths they bring to the team.

Everything is brought together visually on a Team Canvas framework, and you'll finish the session by agreeing on some tangible outputs and actions to take together after the workshop.

We'll use Zoom or Microsoft Teams to bring your team together over video, supported by visual apps such as MURAL to capture comments, ideas and actions.

Remote Team Tune up

Great Teams

An interactive session based on Google’s Project Aristotle research, which revealed the importance of ‘psychological safety’ and other factors as key ingredients to effective teams. A great introduction to teamwork best practice.

Understand the various elements that contribute to great teamwork, and assess which elements are present in your team, and where there might be room for improvement.

Team Strengths

A popular exercise where participants take it in turns to nominate each other for strengths and traits that are useful to the team, giving examples where possible. It’s extremely motivating to be recognised for your strengths in the presence of peers.

In running this exercise, we almost always see participants pleasantly surprised as colleagues praise them for strengths they didn’t know they had, and offer appreciation for how those strengths have been brought to bear on collaborative projects. Teams also discover the diversity of strengths at their disposal, opening up possibilities for future creative partnerships or complementing big-picture creative thinking with dot-joining and decision making.

Team Canvas

Team Canvas is a comprehensive framework that brings team members onto the same page, by examining team purpose, values, goals, activities, strengths and weaknesses. It is made to align teams, increase cohesion and create productive team culture, fast.

In a workshop, we introduce the canvas as a tool to align team members and get better at understanding goals, roles and values of your team. Everyone is able to quickly see all aspects of the team, how it works and what its goals are.

Looking Ahead

A future-focused session that asks: what are your biggest priorities and events over the coming months? What's likely to happen and what can we do about it? Which relationships are strong - and which need work? What opportunities are we most excited and passionate about?

Participants identify predictable events, situations and potential issues that they can factor into their plans for the next 6-12 months. Sometimes these offer opportunities to take advantage of by planning early; sometimes they enable problems to be mitigated before they occur.

Team To-Do List

Team To-Do List

Most often used towards the end of a workshop, this simple activity aims to gather the various ideas, outputs and priorities from the session and help participants create a set of practical actions to take things forward.

We help participants to come up with specific tasks or actions that they can take as a result of the workshop's discussions - assigning either individual or collective responsibilities, along with consideration of resources and deadlines.

TESTIMONIAL

“Creative Huddle facilitated an excellent team building workshop for IOP’s Senior Publishing Management Team. With three new members we wanted to make sure we were all aligned behind a clear purpose and to bring each member’s individual’s strengths to the forefront to help us perform at our best. We learnt a lot about each other and what makes us tick, and how we can support each other more as a result. The emphasis throughout the day was firmly on us thanks to the facilitator's subtle and observant style. Everyone came away feeling very positive and we had a clear set of actions we could take forward together.”
