Team Building
When a group of individuals need to make the transition to a decision making and goal achieving team, working with Unicorn can significantly accelerate the process. Team events are also of substantial benefit to your established teams, supporting their development to achieve greater successes.
Events can be workshop based, activity based or a combination of the two.
Activity Based
We work in partnership with activity providers to offer unique and memorable experiences to support the learning process. Our experienced facilitators work with the team to identify key learning points. This usually involves reflection and feedback on how they have approached activities and paralleling this to occurances in the workplace.
Workshop Based
We have extensive experience as facilitators and are well practised at working with clients on live issues in workshop situations. We support you to explore your current position, identify areas for change and create plans to realise the transistion.
Team Alignmnet
It is often assumed that individuals are working towards the same ends. We are usually clear about what we see as success, what is most important and how we think things should be done. The mistake we sometimes make is to assume that others share our visions and beliefs exactly. Because we don't generally discuss work in these terms, this variation in perspective tends to manifest as disagreements on particular topics or approaches. Such misalignment can create significant sticking points for teams and feel impossible to resolve.
At Unicorn, we work with teams to unravel the visions and beliefs and so uncover the unsaid, that which lies behind the presenting ideas, approaches and behaviours. we create a safe environment for all members to express their thoughts and beliefs through a systematic process. This allows all an equal hearing, with constructive focus. we then work with the team to formulate an aligned vision and approach, which all have helped create and so have genuine commitment to.
