Not only do different types of communication come together in teams, but different values and attitudes also have an impact on communication. This often leads to ambiguities and misunderstandings. In addition, reservations about digital communication channels are often the order of the day. Clear agreements are therefore the key to successful collaboration, especially in teams that mainly communicate virtually.

This workshop will clarify: What can communication etiquette look like for your own team? To this end, the trainer will first present some theoretical models of virtual collaboration. The participants will then work together to develop a communication guideline according to the needs of their team.

Contents:

- Development of the six success factors for your virtual team (communication, knowledge management, networking, health, motivation, rules and rituals)
- Development of a practical team charter for virtual collaboration with concrete commitments
- Getting to know the "retrospective" method for reflecting on and improving the workflow
- Interactive short units to increase team cohesion in virtual teams

Objectives:

- Familiarization with and consideration of the six success factors for collaboration in virtual teams
- Increasing team cohesion, motivation and support among team members
- Clear commitments: Where is the team already well positioned? What should no longer happen?
- Teaching techniques, tools and best practices to improve communication in virtual teams
- Developing ideas for networking and promoting knowledge sharing within your own team and across teams

Scope: 3-hour workshop

Note: The exact content and objectives of the workshop may vary depending on the target group and specific context.

In self-organized teams, all planning and management tasks are distributed among all team members. This workshop shows how a self-organized team can function and which requirements must be met by the company.

Because without active leadership, rules are needed. Personal responsibility and commitment must be strongly developed among the team members, processes and structures must be clearly regulated and methods for decision-making processes must be clearly defined.

- Acquiring background knowledge on the history and potential of self-organized teams
- Getting to know the advantages and limitations of self-organized teams
- Clarifying the role of the manager in self-organized teams
- Getting to know the structure and framework conditions for self-organized teams
- Exploring the individual framework conditions: What suits our corporate culture, what doesn't?
- Getting to know the "retrospective" method for reflecting on and improving the workflow

Goals:

- Defining clear roles, rules and processes in the team
- Creating a "delegation board" as an orientation for decision-making powers
- Establishing the "retrospective" method for regular joint reflection

Scope: 4 to 8 hours workshop

On request, we can also provide your team with long-term support in the process of self-organization.

A strengths-oriented distribution of tasks has a positive effect on the productivity and satisfaction of employees in teams. According to studies, people who know and use their strengths are happier, more motivated and therefore more productive.

This workshop teaches the basics of developing strengths in a team. It is analyzed: What strengths do the individual team members bring to the table? How can they best be used? And how can weaknesses of individual team members be compensated for in the group?

Our trainers use scientifically based tools to carry out a detailed personality analysis of the participants in advance. These analyses are used to take a closer look at and reflect on tasks and roles in the team. The moderated exchange strengthens understanding among the team members and helps to recognize and reflect on the strengths of each individual.

Contents:

- Introduction to strengths-based work based on the solution of a cooperative task
- Learning about the latest scientific findings on team dynamics
- Carrying out a team check with the LINC Personality Profiler and determining personality profiles based on the "Big Five Model"

- Insight into how the personalities of team members influence behavior and roles in the team

This workshop will help you to

- sensitize team members to a strengths-based way of working
- raise awareness of the benefits and potential of strengths-based teamwork
- redistribute tasks according to individual strengths and thus
- increase the performance, satisfaction and efficiency of the team

Scope: 4-8 hours
