Team Start Up

Our approach to Team Start Ups was developed in the demanding world of the oil and gas industry, where teams need to get up to speed rapidly to ensure safety and performance in the challenging offshore environment.

Who is it for? New or expanding teams that need to hit the ground running.

What to expect: The first step is a Leadership Alignment session to make sure that the ingredients for a successful Team Start Up are in place - clear and consistent messaging of the team’s purpose and goals, and a great agenda and process for the actual Team Start Up workshop.

The Team Start Up workshop itself will be fast moving, interactive and highly participative. The Wild Thinking approach will be a breath of fresh air. You will be up and out of your seat, working with and getting to know new people, while actively building the foundations of a great new team.

We use carefully themed team activities to create opportunities to open up valuable conversations about some of the challenges and opportunities that they will face together and to start to create the basics of the team’s culture.

The workshop will finish with the participants creating their own Team Pact, where they will commit to the values, vision and behaviours that will be at the heart of the team’s future success.

Practicalities: The workshops can be anything from a half day to 3 days in length and would ideally be held in a suitably inspiring off-site venue.
