Is your team going through a change management process?

We can offer help with change management both from a training and consultancy perspective. See our Change Management page.

The success of every organisation depends on the effectiveness of teamwork.  While we wouldn’t think twice about monitoring sales, production or customer satisfaction, we are less inclined to analyse how well we operate as a team.   Yet, the way in which we set goals, communicate, plan tasks, cooperate, and solve problems are all reflected in our ability to work as a team. 

Getting out the office

So how do JamBerry’s experiential training programmes work?  We don’t believe sitting in a dusty meeting room with a flip chart is the answer.  We believe in getting people out of the office, out of their comfort zones and into new and stimulating environments in order to improve communication, cooperation, coordination and encourage a creative approach to problem solving. That might mean taking time out in ancient woodland, working together in a state of the art kitchen or even creating a performance for the stage.

Activity based Team Building Events include:

  • Team building with Cooking , work with a chef and facilitator in a variety of different ways. We have teamed up with the University of Brighton to use their Culinary Arts Studio. This a a state of the art facility enabling participants to cook anything from bread to a three course meal and serve it to an invited audience. For more information see our Culinary Arts flyer.
  • Team building using Drama and Theatre - develop your communications skills working with trained actors and facilitators to explore different team aspects or develop your own production
  • Outdoor Team building using woodlore and woodcraft skills - understand how woodland skills can improve your teams performance in the business jungle
  • Other outdoor team building ideas include: paint ball, archery, quad bikes and team trials
  • All Aboard - team building through Sailing
  • Team building using a Story Board - tell your team's own story
  • Team building using Music  - have fun making music and solving puzzles with state of the art music therapy equipment
  • New! We have a number of new team building experiences including:
    • Circus Skills

  • Ask us for more details!
  • Other forms of team building - Can't see what you are looking for? Please ask us as we are adding new experiences to our list on a regular basis.
  • Classroom based team building - we can also run Team Building sessions in the classroom using games and more formal teaching.

Helping the group progress

Our experienced trainers can then highlight how the group operates while the team makes a camp, a culinary experience or creates their very own drama production with the help of professional actors  This naturally triggers discussion on how the group is interacting in a ‘real’ setting and what is needed to help the group progress.  This provides a valuable opportunity to identify crucial skills, learn about the group and take that knowledge back to the workplace.

However, we don't just throw everyone into an experience. We back it up with good solid theory about  team development, including the 4 stages of team development: forming, storming, norming and performing. This means that these workshops can be very versatile, meeting a wide range of needs from team members to team leaders.

Our team building activities are flexible and can be used not only for team bonding and building but also as a celebration experience, or as team ice breakers. We can also run team building workshops over the weekends if required.

Try a couple of our classroom based team building exercises for free!

Chinese Whispers.

An old one but still a goody. This works well with a medium to large group. It is about communication skills: listening, asking questions and checking understanding. Try passing the following message around the room and see what emerges at the other end - or make up your own message!

" I want to order 2 dozen roses: Some for my mother in Manchester and some for my sister in Birmingham. The ones for my mother must be pink, and for my sister they must be yellow. They need to arrive by 9am on Saturday morning."

Pass the Buck.

For this you need a ball and enough space to stand in a circle. The ball represents a problem and is thrown around the circle until someone takes responsibility for it. This is about understanding that the problem belongs to the team, not necessarily one individual.

Story Telling.

A good team can tell a story between them because they understand how the other think and where they are coming from. Start by going round the circle and asking for a sentence from each person to add to the story. See how the story develops. Try adding in the phrase: "Yes, but..." at regular intervals. Then try adding in the phrase "Yes, and..." What is the difference? Get the team to draw there own conclusions.
