Event
Teambuilding
A team doesn’t become a team in a meeting room. It becomes a team when people laugh together, are allowed to step out of their roles, and share experiences with one another. We design team events using our poker-based SMART STAKES method and LEGO® Serious Play®. They’re interactive, unexpected, and include everything that good team building really needs: fun, joy, and the feeling of having truly shared an experience together.
Methods
Two methods, two effects
Not a huge catalogue, but a conscious selection. Our two recommended methods create intensive team experiences – each in its own way. We clarify together in advance which one fits your team.
SMART STAKES
Our poker-based methodCommunity in change – that is the daily reality of every team.
At the poker table it becomes visible how your team really works together: who takes risks, who holds back, who communicates, who observes. Without judgement, with lots of laughter and the aha moment that sticks in daily practice.
- Build trust & relationships
- Understand & experience decision patterns
- Make risk appetite discussable
- Make team roles visible
- SMART STAKES focuses on the impact and consequences of actions
LEGO® Serious Play®
Certified FacilitationSome truths are hard to say – but easy to build.
In LEGO® Serious Play® your team translates ideas, challenges and visions into three-dimensional models. Every hand builds, every voice counts. The result: a shared picture that would never have emerged in PowerPoint.
- Create a shared understanding
- Involve all voices – including the quiet ones
- Make complexity tangible
- Develop team identity
- LEGO® Serious Play® focuses on Communication and Creativity
For multi-day events we can combine both methods when it fits the team and the goal. We recommend and usually deliberately choose one – the one that best fits you, your team and the current situation.
Impact
What a team event with us achieves
Six effects that stay with the team in daily practice.
Experience fun and joy
Above all: your team has a day it remembers with a smile. That is not a side effect – it is the foundation on which everything else is built.
Stronger sense of we
Shared experience creates a narrative that fosters cohesion in daily practice. "Do you remember when we …" is the beginning of every team culture.
Better collaboration
Those who know how others think enter conflicts differently and find their way out faster.
Understanding of one another
What do my colleagues actually do differently from me? After our formats the team knows – and treats each other more respectfully.
Tangible trust
Trust doesn't emerge on command. But it can be experienced, and then consciously built up further.
Role awareness
Every team has patterns. Made visible, they become usable rather than obstructive.
Occasions
When a team event makes sense
A good occasion turns a few pleasant hours into a real team experience. These are the four we see most often.
New team
Six people from four departments and tomorrow they are supposed to be a team. An event accelerates what daily practice needs months for.
Merger or reorganisation
Two cultures, one community? We create the space in which a new "we" can emerge from two.
After demanding phases
Big projects, hard crises, many overtime hours. An event is recognition and a shared moment to breathe.
Kick-off for new goals
Before it starts: arriving together. The start often decides more about success than one initially thinks.
Formats
Two formats – depending on goal and time
From a compact format as a module of a program to a full team day with a shared meal · we adapt length and depth to your situation.
Compact event
One team, one method, one result
The half-day as a clear module: experience, understand and build on it · compact and effective. Ideal as an entry point, for kick-offs, or as an element of a larger program.
Team day
The classic – with a shared meal
A full day: enough time for experiencing, understanding, committing and a shared meal at the end. With SMART STAKES or LEGO® Serious Play®.
Outcome
What the team takes with them
At the end, there is no folder full of results but a team that has changed and one that is glad about what they were able to experience together.
- A shared experience the team remembers months later with a smile.
- Clearer understanding of one another and of what each person needs to work well.
- Two to three concrete starting points for what will run differently from tomorrow onwards.
- Team patterns made visible that can consciously be used in daily practice.
- New energy and motivation for what lies ahead.
- An experience- and results-oriented team process that is lived, understood and sustainably effective.
