Team building program : The key to team spirit

A team is normally defined as a group of people that works together toward a common objective.   This also holds true for project management.   In this case it is the project that is the common objective and the individual members will have to work together in order to achieve it.

In truth this is never easy.  Within a group of people, there are always problems.   In order to foster a better team spirit within the organization companies do not hesitate to spend a lot of money.

Listed below are 3 team building programs that are normally used in organization.

Cooking

Cooking class is indeed a team building activity that is used by many companies nowadays. Normally they will be called to work in a diverse group and asked to prepare the lunch.   This situation let them not only work together but also spends some time together.

Audiovisual creation

In this case the team will be expected to create a mini-video.  For instance the team may be asked to create a complete news broadcast with the script and the record. There are different ways how you can adapt this activity.   One interesting variant of this might be that of an advertising campaign. The team will be given a product or service and asked to devise an advertising campaign based on this.

Outdoor team building experience

Some organization might favor outdoor team building experience such as rappelling and canoeing.  This can be really interesting as it can help to build not only a good team spirit but also allow the whole team to have some time off away from the company.
