Collaboration for Productive Team Work

Perhaps you are more accustomed to "team building" as a workshop title. However, this is one powerful session that can bust silos by enhancing professional interaction, teamwork, and productivity. Agreements made in this session stick!

This session requires the presence of the real players, for this highly interactive session addresses inter-departmental, and inter-personnel morale and collaboration. First, participants conduct their own assessment, discuss it, then negotiate with other employees, or other departments to attain the preferred level of collaboration. The assessment of the current status of collaboration is compared with the desired or ideal collaboration of individuals in partnerships, as well as within and/or between work units or departments.

Powerful and highly effective. Participants leave the session with new clarity and an action plan for improving collaboration. When held with the workplace unit, progress made during this session takes effect immediately.

Those absent from this module can be “brought into the loop” and exercises by participants who seek them out and carry on the collaboration assessment and negotiation back in the workplace.
