Team Building

UKHC Team Building

Team building is the process of helping a group of people evolve into a cohesive unit enabling them to work together more effectively. This process is furthered through activities and events designed to increase or promote certain aspects of the team. There are a variety of team building activities available depending on your desired outcomes. Many of the team building activities can be conducted by the leader, a team member, or by using other resources such as Enterprise Learning.

Below are some Enterprise Learning facilitated sessions. For more information on activities facilitated by leader or team members or the activities below, please contact Enterprise Learning.

Start/Stop/Continue This exercise is a strategic management tool aimed at enhancing organizational effectiveness. Teams identify actions to initiate (Start), cease (Stop), and maintain (Continue) for ongoing projects. Starting entails implementing new approaches or practices to boost productivity and innovation. Stopping involves discontinuing activities that hinder progress or prove ineffective. Continuing focuses on sustaining successful practices and reinforcing positive behaviors. This method fosters adaptability, aligns team goals, and promotes a dynamic, improvement-oriented culture within an organization.

New Leader Assimilation This is an exercise to use when a new manager comes into a team or work group for the first time. It gives the group an opportunity to explore the manager’s role as perceived by all and fosters open communication.
