Team Development Program Methodology:
Create-Learning will lead team building and communication-based initiatives. We will facilitate the organization through initiatives and reflections on improving trust and communication within the program.
A focus will be on creating and maintaining Self-Directed behaviors. With Self-Directed behaviors, the focus is on choice and acceptance of choice. The participants will gain communication and trust.
Additionally, we will facilitate the participants through a decision-making model. This model can be transferred into the program model already being used by the team and organization.
The participants will have an understanding of;
- How their choices affect themselves
- How their choices affect others
- As well as a model to decrease the amount of time to make choices within the team.
We will utilize a “Harm-Reduction” model focusing on small improvement(s) over an extended period becoming large improvements. Additionally keeping a focus on what is working at the moment as opposed to what is not working.
