UK-based Management Consultancy Transform People International, has launched a turnkey approach to team and relationship building, behavioural change and conference management: Team DNA.
(PRWEB) May 31, 2002
Transform People International have launched their Team DNA Programme in the UK: www. teamdna. co. uk. Created for those who are fed up with themed events and bouncy castle team building exercises that override the serious business message they are trying to communicate.
UK-based Management Consultancy Transform People International, has launched a turnkey approach to team and relationship building, behavioural change and conference management: Team DNA.
The Global Management Training Consultancy aims to help companies find out what makes their teams tick, improve performance and achieve a better understanding of each other and their clients. It does this with a new and dynamic approach with lasting benefits to business, team and individual performance, closely linking its programmes with the real objectives of clients and delegates.
Transforming Business Culture & Behaviour: What is Team DNA?
Team DNA is a unique event-based approach to communications and training for companies that want to:
Q Transform their internal culture
Q Improve communications inside their organisation
Q Build better relationships with clients
Q Win and retain more business
Q Collaboratively build teams
Q Motivate and inspire their staff
Q Lay a foundation for lasting improvement and development.
“At the heart of the TeamDNA™ experience lies TPI's behavioural transformation programme, delivered in a dynamic and highly motivating way,” says Ronnie Stronge, Director of TPI. “Tailored exercises work, even with large groups, to change people's understanding of how to improve communication and build relationships.”
TeamDNA™ starts from the premise that however good many team building exercises are, their value is usually short lived. That is because they do not address the basic needs of people to understand and do something about changing their attitudes, habits, and behaviours. Many team building exercises do little to help people who are “wired” one way understand how to communicate effectively or get the most out of their relationship with others who are “wired” differently.
Team DNA: The Story So Far
Having started life as a three-hour workshop, Team DNA has now been delivered as a conference event in North and South America and in Europe to audiences ranging from 100 to 1,000, building on TPIÂ’s expertise in bringing about attitude and behavioural change. With each individual involved, no matter of the size of the conference.
TPI had been working with Compaq Latin America on some core behavioural change programmes, essentially in small groups. So pleased were the recipients, that TPI were asked to deliver a longer version of the programme to over 1,000 people – effectively the entire Latin company sales force. They were “blown away” by the programme’s impact and it’s potential lasting value.
“As with a number of TPI ‘products’, TeamDNA was born from practically addressing existing client challenges,” says Ronnie.
“Several of our larger clients are undergoing major change initiatives or were gathering top management teams from around the world. They wanted their investment in conferences to pay off with more impact. They wanted something different and they wanted value beyond the event itself.”
TeamDNA one and two-day events include:
Q a 20+ page report of each delegates personal temperament, together with the implications this has for building better relationships.
Q Interactive session: the fundamentals of temperament in a presentation format that deliberately sets out to entertain as well as inform. The intention is to turn on a light of understanding for each member of the audience.
Q An illustration of how this new learning can be applied in real-life situations faced by members of the audience, motivating individuals and teams to make changes immediately - and be prepared for the continued change characteristic of a dynamic and collaborative working culture.
Q Collaborative Healthcheck TM, designed to assess areas for improvement and change within a team, and create specific training that is relevant to the audience.
Q Additional motivational sessions and an expanded format for the two-day event.
Sometimes the TeamDNA event can be used to initiate a longer-term training programme. One example is the powerful Trusted Adviser Programme, which examines ways in which teams and individuals can move to a higher level of engagement and trust - bringing a range of business and personal benefits to the organisation.
Feedback is encouraging, “Feedback from TeamDNA™ programmes indicates many different exciting outcomes,” says Ronnie. “Managements have praised its impact in helping start the journey of culture and other change. TPI has seen further engagements to help implement programmes as a direct consequence.”
