COLLABORATING
BEYOND TEAMS
Developing cross-border communication and cooperation
1-day
interactive workshop for 10 - 50 delegates
From Communication Flow to Cash Flow
Due
to major restructurings, reorganisations, re-engineering, mergers, joint
ventures etc., many organisations find that their people are not working
coherently together. Organisations are losing the trust of clients, losing
key talent or failing to sustain competitive advantage, because of poor
communications, internal politics, cross-functional conflicts, misunderstandings,
stress, or poor working relations across various boundaries.
Challenges
of many organisations:
o Poor productivityo Not achieving objectiveso Inertia and lack of innovation
o Conflict and misunderstandingso High staff attrition and low motivation
Solution:
Whereas
many workshops focus on team building, change management and organisational
development, this workshop focuses on the gaps between teams, departments
or alliance partners - communicating across boundaries. It helps people
to reconcile internal conflicts and create collective momentum, synergy
and innovation across interdisciplinary, cross-functional and multi-cultural
teams.
Objectives:
This
workshop helps diverse teams become more effective and develop as world
class teams. More importantly it helps people and groups bridge the gaps
in communication between teams, functions, departments, corporate cultures
and national cultures. By focussing on the gaps we help prevent good work
done within teams, departments etc. being lost or dissipated by big gaps
in communication and misunderstandings between those groups etc., and
instead tap into collective wisdom and unleash synergy within or across
organisations.
Approach:
The workshop is highly interactive and participatory, and uses accelerated
learning. Participants should come in comfortable clothes and trainers,
ideal for moving around, and bring lots of bottled water.
Who
should Attend:
This
workshop is suitable for managers and staff who are frustrated by conflict
and hurdles to effective cooperation within their organisations, or for
those who have great teams within their organisations which, however,
are operating self-sufficiently, like little islands, so not collaborating
with each other.
Benefits:
o Improved communication
o Reduced talent attrition
o Improved customer satisfaction
o Leverage from diverse workforce
o Increased flow (communication flow, work flow, cash flow)
The
workshop is results-oriented and very practical. It is delivered with
a high degree of audience interaction and participation. By redirecting
internal conflict to creating collective spirit, synergy and innovation,
participants achieve better performance and higher productivity.
