Team Building Proposal

The role of team work in institutions has been identified as being critical.
Good organizational performance can be attributed to the quality and
nature of the team and the interaction amongst team members. It is
therefore imperative that institutions are seen to function and perform
their duties as effective and efficient as possible.

Team cohesion, synergy and a shared vision are a requirement for any
institution to succeed. As a result the need to instill such is important.
Team building activities have been identified as one sure way of
enhancing effectiveness of a group/team whether a board, senior
management or staff in an organization since institutions require teams
whenever producing the desired outcome depends on integrating diverse
skills, interests and efforts.

An effective team process releases, and then multiplies, the effectiveness

of each member. The resulting synergy makes it possible to develop and
implement better solutions, more acceptable solutions, and more
successful solutions. People then become more than isolated individuals
in the work environment. Several individuals working cooperatively
together have greater potential to create success. Therefore, world class
organizations should make concerted efforts to develop high performing
teams which gear towards organizations success in all its business fronts.

The consultants intend to impart, through experiential learning, current

skills, attitudes, and knowledge in team dynamics to the participating
employees. Most of the critical ingredients in a team-building program,
such as Strategic Thinking, Interpersonal Skills, Leadership, Team Synergy,
Team Cultures and Thriving in Change shall be explored.
