Exercises for Team Development

The need for teams to work effectively together is critical to organisational success. If teams are not good enough, important projects inevitably fail. This toolkit is designed to address that need. It enables teams, and those who coach or facilitate teams, to develop quickly in response to the demands of the work they have to do. This toolkit provides a comprehensive range of tools and techniques that will facilitate effective team development throughout the team's life cycle, and addresses the complexities of team working in a clear and accessible way. It includes tools that focus on the specific challenges that face organisations today such as virtual teams, matrix organisations, multicultural teams, team mergers, team emotions, and sustaining high performance. Containing structured facilitator notes, this toolkit enables facilitators to select and apply the most relevant exercises quickly and confidently. A matrix of exercises at the start of the toolkit makes it easy to pick the most appropriate tools and techniques for the purpose, for the teamiquest;s developmental stage, and for the facilitator's level of experience. Each tool is customisable, ensuring that the techniques chosen are precisely tailored to an organisation's exact needs.
