Corporate Team Building - Shake 'Em Up To Wake
'Em Up
Author: Brett Danielson
 
Team building has become somewhat of a buzz word in corporate
circles over the past few years. Many corporate event planners
toss the term 'corporate team building' around willy-nilly as
part of their marketing talk - but their events don't always
live up to the team building promise. For an event to actually
transform and cement new ways of working together, it has to
offer more than just lip service and a group trip to go
fly-fishing.

Successful corporate team building events have a number of
elements in common:

1. The opportunity to see the roadblocks to successful
communication and teamwork

2. The chance to see co-workers in unfamiliar roles and
situations

3. The necessity to work together toward a common goal

4. The support needed to forge productive new ways of working
together

Good corporate event planners take those cut-and-dried concepts
and turn them into a fun learning experience. The true geniuses
in the corporate event world can create amazing and
transforming events that will shake up your organization and
wake up inspiration that you never knew existed in your
company. Experienced planners of team building events know how
to bring your coworkers and employees together in new ways that
highlight the strengths you know they have, and show them how to
use those strengths to build a solid service or production team
that simply can't be beat.

Chillisauce, a UK company that specializes in corporate events
and group tours, explains that team building challenges can be
beneficial in highlighting how work obstacles are overcome by
working together. Among the fun team building activities that
they've offered are a Limousine Treasure Hunt, a Spy Mission,
Dragon Boat Racing and the opportunity to participate in It's a
Knockout!

Other companies plan 'Service Days' that may include building a
children's playground for charity or pitching in to completely
renovate a home for a local charity. In any case, the value of
the day is in the lessons carried home at its end - that the
team can overcome anything by getting to know each other and
working together - as a team with unique members.
