Make the most of your team's strengths
An engaging simulation is the perfect programme for a team day or a weekly meeting, for example.
Team Strengths
What is the need? Simulation is often used in situations where teamwork is needed, for example when the composition of a team has changed. Simulation increases mutual understanding and trust, and improves communication and understanding of each other's roles.
Why does it work? The simulation helps you to understand your colleagues, especially how they feel about different jobs. In this way, the simulation enables the team to be more self-directed.
The focus is on the factors that influence teamwork, such as accuracy, creativity, conflict tolerance and presentation. The simulation takes the mind away from work roles and opens up discussions about hidden strengths and different roles at work and in leisure time.
What about in practice? In the simulation's backstory, the team travels to Munich's famous Oktoberfest. The simulation consists of ten short situations along the way that challenge the team to look at their strengths from new perspectives and to develop their teamwork.
Research background
The simulation is based on McClelland's motivation theory, Jung's personality theory and Belbin's team roles. Based on these theories, themes have been selected to discuss the most important areas of knowledge and preferences that influence team performance.
Objectives
- Create a common understanding of team members' preferences
- Bringing out the hidden strengths of individuals
- Make existing policies and role-sharing visible
- Improve team performance through shared understanding
For whom
- For teams of 4-16 people. The simulation develops team collaboration. Also suitable for temporary teams and teams working remotely.
- The simulation lasts about 2 hours.
