Course description
Team Identity Day: In-House
All teams need to step back periodically and think about direction, where they have been and where they are going.
If a team is giving cause for concern, whether subjectively in terms of perception or more objectively in terms of its performance metrics, it may well be that the team is not functioning as well as it could with its existing resources. If there is no shared sense of purpose – no vision, no mission – then it is all too likely that energies are not being properly directed, that inefficiencies are arising and that the team is failing.
Equally, a newly formed team – or a recently restructured one – needs to focus first on the bigger picture before it can get down to the job of service delivery.
In situations such as this, a team identity day can be invaluable, helping the team establish a sense of direction, of purpose, of identity.

Outcome / Qualification etc.
Learning objectives
This workshop usually has two very specific outcomes. First, a draft (or revised) vision and mission statements, sometimes expressed as a ‘Team Charter’. And secondly, an agreed set of next steps. Individual participants tend to come away from the event, inspired and motivated, with an increased sense of purpose and commitment and a better understanding of their own role as well as that of the team as a whole.
