The Effective Team Development course is an intensive team development program for the whole team, including their managers.

Many organizations will prefer to run this course with their own teams, on their own premises and focused on their overall team development goals . However the option also exists to send your team to an “open” course to benefit from interaction with teams from other organizations.

Team participants can expect to:

  • Understand the meaning of a team
  • Improve individual and group productivity
  • Build a high performance team
  • Establish clearly defined team goals and develop a Plan
    of Action to achieve them
  • Determine clear roles and responsibilities within the
    team
  • Improve communication within the team, and much
    more.
