How it works

A great team is not just a group of great individuals: research shows that how a team works together is actually more important than who’s on the team.

A great team building workshop can be a really effective process to get team members working effectively together, aligned behind a clear purpose, with defined goals and roles.

We’ll work with you to design a suitable session that will benefit your team. If you’re a team leader, getting us on board enables you to experience the session with your team, rather than feeling wholly responsible for leading and driving the agenda. You’ll be free to bond and integrate with your team as much as you like.

Team building workshops enable team members to take part in a number of facilitated discussions and activities to explore the topics and challenges most relevant to your team. The workshop can be weighted towards different topics depending on the specific areas you’re looking to develop.

You might like one of these "off the shelf" workshops, or we can use one as a starting point to create a bespoke workshop to suit your group.

Here's what you can expect when you work with us:

Expert Facilitation

When the day comes, we’ll carefully and skilfully guide your participants through a series of sessions and discussions to achieve your aims. We design sessions to keep the engagement and energy high, making sure everyone gets the chance to contribute. We’ll wrap up with key points and actions, and can record everything in a report afterwards if required.

Full Engagement

Our meetings and workshops get everyone collaborating equally and effectively to harness their collective strengths and make insightful contributions. They’re carefully designed experiences that help people of all kinds speak up, generate ideas, solve problems, share opinions and make decisions.

Tangible Outcomes

We'll work closely with you to understand the outcomes you need from the session and work towards these, to help you drive your project forward with key deliverables, decisions, stakeholder support, actions, measurement criteria, roles, responsibilities and deadlines.

Tools & Techniques

We can draw from a variety of approaches to help you achieve your objectives. Here are just a few examples:

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.

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.

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.

Super You

The group discusses the concept of high performance, using the concept of a “Super You” – a slightly improved version of each participant. Where can we each improve our performance? How can we hold ourselves to higher standards?

User Manual

Participants discuss their responses to a series of prompts to create their own ‘User Manual’, which invites people to specify how to get the most from them, i.e. how to communicate with them and what support they need.

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.

How we do it

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.”
