Team building cultivates cooperation, bridge building, planning and effective use of resources. The benefits of team building activities are countless: improvement in planning skills, problem solving, decision making, time management, friendly competition, personal confidence, morale, communication skills and commitment, to name a few. Team building activities also help the team in self-assessment, identifying the team’s current strengths and weaknesses which will serve as a springboard for change.

• Team Development Training

  The successful development of any company or organization largely depends on effective teamwork. Teams, not the motivational title we toss around in business, but true blue teams share three characteristics:

  1. They struggle for shared aspirations – a common goal
  2. They have measurable performance – FiveSTAR TPI
  3. They have joint accountability – sharing successes and failures alike

  Effective teamwork accomplishes more, as teams work together faster and will be more productive. Effective teamwork is essential for an organization to realize its high-performance potential. Good team relationships are the catalyst to a productive group with great morale and motivation. Corporate team building activities initiate the process of establishing and developing a greater degree of cooperation and trust between team members.

  Interactive exercises, team assessments, and group discussions enable groups to cultivate this greater sense of teamwork. Corporate team building activities are aimed at improving communication and collaboration skills within and between groups of people working together.

  High-performance teams can accomplish something much bigger and work more effectively than a group of the same individuals working on their own. With high-performance teams you have a strong synergy of individual contributions.

  Catalyst has worked inside thousands of organizations and has solutions for the classic challenges associated with team and leadership dynamics.

• Strategic Action Planning

  Turning insights into actions!

  You want to see a return on your investment in a team building program, but you may be unsure how to measure that return. We make it easy with Strategic Action Planning. The actual benefits of our programs are enhanced communication, increased levels of trust and improved performance. Our programs will change behavior, but there has to be a plan in place when you go back to work that outlines how to achieve these goals.

  With each Catalyst program, participants create an action plan that will identify specific things they will change or do when they return to work. You will see a return on investment through the dollars saved by reducing inefficiencies and the dollars earned through productivity; an added bonus for your people will be the enhanced quality of life created by working in a functional environment.

  What’s behind our Strategic Action Planning?
  The cognitive and physical interactive challenges in both our Mobile Learning Initiatives and at the Catalyst Center for Action Learning surface group dynamics, creating insights through guided debriefs after each challenge. Participants grow to understand the dynamics and stages of team development. We take a hard look at the behaviors of individual contributors as well as the group as a whole to understand the accumulative impact each member’s behavior has on impeding or reaching organizational goals. We explore anything that impedes productivity:

  • Rework
  • Lack of trust
  • Hidden agendas
  • Passive aggressiveness
  • Poor communication
  • Operating in silos
  • No seeking and sharing of information
  • Lack of commitment

  In our Strategic Action Planning module each participant identifies specific behaviors they will change…and they make very specific commitments to implement these changes right away. Working together with a Catalyst facilitator, participants will create an action plan that will extend what they have learned in each challenge to practical applications back at the workplace. In addition, Catalyst will provide a post-program PowerPoint summary of your session which will include activities, insights from the debriefs and follow up debrief questions. Catalyst has a proven track record for achieving efficiency, higher productivity and delivering on the idea that. . .Actions Speak Louder than Words
