Overview

This day has been specifically designed as a ‘sharing of best practice team experience’ which involves the following:

The team will decide what generic learning/strategies they can and should be sharing with one another in order to strengthen their team capability.

Delegates will work through exercises that will allow them to understand the benefits to the above as well as the current reasons for not sharing information.

Delegates will have open and honest conversations that will allow them to agree team and individual actions for ensuring that information is more effectively shared in the future.

Each delegate will gain an insight into their natural preference for communicating information. They will in turn use this to understand how to adapt their skills in order to share more with others (through coaching and mentoring) as well as through encouraging others to do the same within their immediate and wider team.

A full report will be emailed to the line manager and delegates after the training has taken place in order to keep the delegates focused upon their learning and key actions.
