Our structured approach to delivering team collaboration training
Our engagement process ensures training is relevant, practical, and creates meaningful improvement in how your team collaborates.
We begin with a conversation to understand your team's current situation, collaboration challenges, and goals. This discussion covers team size and structure, current processes, pain points you're experiencing, and what success would look like.
For organizations proceeding with training, we conduct a more detailed discovery phase. This includes a team survey to gather input from multiple perspectives, review of current collaboration tools and processes, and identification of specific scenarios to address in training.
Based on discovery findings, we design a customized training program. This includes selecting relevant methodologies, creating exercises using your team's actual scenarios, determining workshop format and duration, and developing supporting materials.
Training sessions combine instruction, discussion, and hands-on practice. Participants work through real scenarios, practice new techniques, and develop action plans for implementation. Sessions are interactive with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.
Following workshops, we provide resources to support implementation. This includes templates and checklists for ongoing use, reference materials summarizing key concepts, and email support for questions during initial application.
What participants can expect during training sessions
Each topic begins with clear explanation of the methodology or framework. We cover the reasoning behind approaches and how they address common collaboration challenges.
Concepts are illustrated with examples from similar organizations and industries. We show how approaches apply in different contexts and adapt to various situations.
Participants practice techniques through exercises using scenarios from their actual work. This includes small group activities, full group discussions, and individual reflection.
Time is allocated for teams to discuss how approaches apply to their specific situation. These conversations often surface important insights and help teams adapt methods to their context.
Sessions include time for participants to develop concrete plans for implementing new practices. Teams leave with specific next steps rather than just general ideas.
Plenty of time for questions throughout. We address concerns about implementation challenges and help teams think through how to handle specific situations they anticipate.
Flexible formats to match your team's needs and preferences
All training includes comprehensive materials designed for ongoing reference and use. These are not generic templates but resources customized to reflect your team's context and the specific approaches covered in your training.
Understanding the timeframe from initial contact to workshop delivery
For teams with urgent needs or simple requirements. Includes brief discovery, focused program design, and quick workshop scheduling.
Most common approach allowing thorough discovery and thoughtful customization. Provides time for team input and careful program design.
For complex programs or multi-session series. Includes extensive discovery, iterative design, and training spread across multiple dates.
Supporting implementation and sustained improvement
Teams typically begin applying new practices within days of training. The action plans developed during workshops provide clear starting points for implementation.
Questions that arise during initial implementation can be addressed via email. We provide guidance on adapting approaches to specific situations teams encounter.
Optional follow-up workshops can be scheduled to address implementation challenges, refine approaches based on experience, or cover additional topics.
Teams continue developing collaboration practices beyond initial training. The frameworks learned provide foundation for ongoing improvement and adaptation.
Schedule an initial consultation to discuss your team's needs and explore how we can help.
