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
