Social environments based on gathering resources or the distribution and creation of goods or services, such as the workplace, rely heavily upon many people performing multiple tasks simultaneously. It is not surprising that a group's ability to collaborate with each other allows them to be more efficient as individuals as well as as a whole. It is for this reason that teambuilding has been encouraged in the corporate world. Any enhancements that improve a group's ability to accomplish their task are only to be commended.

Although teambuilding is an established practice in corporate America, it is rarely discussed or mentioned in conversation . Team development or team improvement is not. Although the tasks may seem similar, they are not. However, teambuilding and team development do have a key difference. Team improvement refers to looking at an existing house and deciding what decorations, furnishings and amenities could be added to make it a more comfortable place to live in. Although it is not difficult, teambuilding can be a beneficial process for an organization if used.

The times are changing, and the demand for Improvement is on the rise. With that increase in demand comes the need to have more competent and skilled individuals who can build houses and see them succeed.

Devise strategies to improve communication

As most teams have already established, a strong capacity for communication is a key component in any team as it allows the free flow of information between peers that can then utilize the information provided by one another to make informed decisions and choices which further both the individual and therefore the entire team in their collective efforts. In Team Performance Improvement training, learners are made to see how some of the communication that team members send to one another can be superfluous, redundant, or otherwise mean nothing useful to the proceedings. Their goal then is to trim the fat and remove all unnecessary communication between members of a party, and using linguistic strategies practiced by more established entities such as certain professions, create a system of turns of phrase and jargon that everyone in the team can understand and quickly interpret to act upon; thereby maximising efficiency.

Enhance cooperative efforts

Teams by their very nature are already cooperative entities that allow individuals to work side-by-side to achieve goals that they would individually be unable to reach. Team Performance Improvement Trainees are taught to see how even the best teams out there can be improved by encouraging certain behaviors and discouraging others for the benefit of their collaborative efforts. Many methodologies exist which can allow them to facilitate these adjustments; these will be taught to trainees, and hence allow them to employ these at their discretion and as per the demand of the diverse populations that they will encounter upon the completion of their training.

Identify individual strengths and how to best employ them

Teams consist of various and diverse individuals with different experiences, skillsets, and abilities which allow them to be better suited to certain tasks than others. To operate at maximum capacity teams usually allocate certain individuals to certain roles as fit their already known quirks and abilities. While this is an effective strategy on its own, trainees of Team Performance Improvement Training are made to have a different perspective to see if there are other roles that they can serve within the team structure if in case some or other member(s) may become unavailable or are otherwise unable to render their task or role, that and to complement and assist those who are most skilled in a certain role as helping hands to speed their efforts along if in case of situations where they’re merely sitting idle.

Devise conflict resolution strategies

Teams, at the end of the day, are still groups of individuals working towards an intended goals. These people are not machines with precisely built parts that operate within some boundaries. This is one of the defining traits of people in general and is also an area that could cause conflict with one another. The causes for grievances are as wildly varying as the people themselves, but are more often than not motivated by perfectly rational and completely logical reasons. Team Performance Improvement Training has many strategies available to root out the cause of conflict between each other and how to quickly reach an agreement between the opposing teams. At the very least mitigate the negative effects of the currently occurring conflict while a team activity is being conducted so it may be resolved at a later point where time and other resources are not as limited. We show participants some easy to use conflict resolution strategies.

Enhance problem-solving processes

Teams are great as more people are better than just one at solving problems. The catch is, however, along with multiple people trying to solve problems, there come the heads jostling for position on how to immediately solve this issue. The Trainee’s job is to allow everyone to have their say on how to solve a problem while also giving everyone’s solution within reason a chance. By enhancing problem solving skills, teams can work on solutions quicker.
