Team Building

IGS helps teams define their purpose and role and strengthen their effectiveness through group team-building workshops.  IGS believes that in order to be effective, teams must have:

• A common goal or mission
• A high level of trust that is manifested through a sense of “ownership” inherent in their work and team development
• A degree of interdependence based on an appreciation of the strengths of individual members
• A belief that they can accomplish more as a team than through individual effort.

IGS is able to facilitate one-time meetings as well as highly complex organization-wide processes. Following an assessment of the team and its environment, IGS will customize a team building strategy.

IGS has expertise the following critical team-building skill areas:

Team dynamics including group culture and diversity

• Meeting facilitation techniques
• Appreciative Inquiry (i.e. the identification of, and building upon, strengths of the team)
• Team development life cycle
• Team roles, both formal and informal

"...Innovative Growth Solutions, LLC, gave our non-profit just what we needed! IGS provided us with coaching and team building sessions and gave us many tools to use in both communication and problem solving. Because of the positive experience we had with IGS, we have recommended IGS to others."
