Banging Drums at the Team Building conference has lost its beat!
According to Joanna Mather (AFR 15th June 2011) outdoor courses, cooking classes and learning to samba may have had their day in the world of corporate team building.
‘the best team building
programs
are ones which
present real life challenges.’ |
Samuel Day Managing Director of Happening People says “We have always questioned how the learnings in adventure training transfer back to the work place”. Sam Said “I think relevance and context are critical for people to make meaningful changes in the work place”.
AHRI president Peter Wilson said these type of programs are a “real turn off” and suggested the best team building programs are ones which present real life challenges.

Sam Day (Happening People) thinks that many organisations flag team building as the problem when there are other issues going on.
“From my experience organisations need to assess their leadership and performance management effectiveness before investing in team building albeit an important part of a development calendar.” |
