With the
ever increasing pace of change in the business environment, the importance of strong
teams that have the ability to move with the changes without performance
decrement is becoming more and more critical. This two day workshop is aimed at
increasing awareness of team play behaviours.
The
course facilitators have experience from very different environments and bring
their experiences to bear on the quality of the workshop. Dr. Neil Roodyn has
been involved in software development for 20 years. In that time he has run five software
companies and helped many development teams focus on the soft skills which add
overall value to the product they produce. Kristen Kosmala is an Olympic class sailor
who has been competing in team events for 10 years; she holds scholarships with
both the Australian Institute of Sport and New South Wales Institute of
Sport. Kristen brings important sports based team play lessons to the business
workplace.
The
workshop is based around discussions and games to reinforce the lessons
presented. Delegates will spend more than half of the time participating in
activities that allow them to gain some real experiences of team play and understand
how the team can better solve problems, overcome obstacles and achieve outcomes
in smaller timescales.
To get
the most out of this course delegates should come with an open mind that things
are not always as they may seem and that the logical answers do not always
produce the best solutions.
