state of the art adult education tools and facilitation methods for small
or large groups (8-500).
We are the preferred supplier of experience-based learning
programs for the Kohler
Experiential Learning Center.
Client Services Categories:
Networking - Relationship development
services that are motivational, energizing, and build esprit de corps.
Flexible in design, these sessions focus on building face to face relationships
that create more effective utilization of your human capital. Well developed
networks support fluid connections in organizations and with customers.
These sessions help to break down barriers between people creating a more
trusting and open work environment.
Enrichment - Our "Breaking
Boundaries" programs are one-half day to multiple-day adventure experiences
designed to build individual and team competence. Working in teams is
required in today's organizations. Conflicts over mission, values, turf,
resources and between egos can diminish the effectiveness of effort and
drain valuable emotional energy and time from management. These programs
provide frameworks for people to learn about communicating, risking, trusting,
solving problems, leading/following, and team collaboration.
Intervention - Organization
Development-Client Relationships are built upon assessments, comprehensive
training strategies and commitment to continuous improvement over time.
Customized
Learning Methods:
TEAMJAM®
- A Team Learning Event
An
innovation in organizational team building. TEAMJAM is a celebratory experience
that embraces the concepts of change, growth, and learning for an organization.
TEAMJAM is a custom-designed experiential learning event to practice teamwork
skills in a multi-tasking environment. It combines the spirits of competition,
collaboration and serious play producing an opportunity for participants
to assert their team skills, interpersonal relations, problem solving
and creative abilities while co-existing in both collaborative and competitive
relationships. We liken it to the merging of a rock concert, a circus,
a theatre performance and training seminar into one highly motivating
and energizing event.
We will customize the TEAMJAM experience to integrate your
key business (or meeting agenda topics) into cognitive and affective activities
that produce relevant information the entire gathering will see and reflect
on. We will integrate any relevant themes that will be present in your
larger meeting agenda. The outputs produced through a TEAMJAM are targeted
at your key issues you want people thinking and dialoging about.
