Nonetheless, teams usually do outperform other groups and individuals,” writes Jon Katzenbach and Doug Smith in their book, The Wisdom of Teams . Teams are so prevalent in today's business world that all organizations need to look at how best to capture the value a high-performing team can yield.

University Connections can help your organization build effective teams; establish important team work processes; and manage the people issues common to teams, including managing conflict.
We can also help your virtual teams succeed.  

Our workshops on building and managing teams will include the basics of forming and managing a team, particularly global teams.  It will include how to establish the necessary work processes for ensuring the success of a team, such as the following: 

•  Team charters
•  Action/work plans
• 
    Meeting management
•  Workspace and communication protocols


It will also include how to work effectively in a global team environment and how best to manage the people side of teams, including the following:

•  Managing cross-cultural challenges
•  Developing shared beliefs, responsibility, and trust
• 
    Understanding personality and cross-cultural differences
•  Managing conflict and people issues


In addition to instruction in team building and management, we can also work with you to brainstorm ways to improve the processes and communication for global teams within your company.

To help with determining personality differences, we are licensed to administer and interpret the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.  We also have effective tools to establish cultural differences to determine the best approaches to manage any conflicts arising from these types of differences.

All team instruction will be tailored to your particular team environment and needs.
