=Teamwork: Functional and Intact Teams=


 * EXPLORING TEAMWORK** There are many types of work groups and teams that can exist in organizations. Few, however, function at peak levels. Because effective teamwork can be challenging to achieve, CMOE's Exploring Teamwork Workshop assists teams with cores issues such as improving communication, tapping into creativity, maximizing resources, overcoming resistance, dealing with change in a positive way, and increasing productivity.

Exploring Teamwork is a powerful, experienced-based workshop that shows participants how to build and sustain a high performance team, as well as how to develop teamwork skills at the individual level. The experiential nature of the training, combined with adult learning methods, ensures an exciting and memorable event. Participants walk away with an integrated set of skills, knowledge, and plans to renew team spirit, enhance performance, and improve team leadership. When these skills are applied, teams are stronger, more productive, and more aligned in purpose than ever before.

The Exploring Teamwork learning event is tailored for intact teams, cross-functional teams, or a mixed group of individuals. The learning is customized to each organization's specific team issues and needs.
