Teamwork &
People Development

If any organisation is to be effective, it requires effective team working at all levels.  Indeed, team working has become an increasingly common feature of organisational life as management seeks to introduce flatter organisational structures in response to changes in technology in an increasingly challenging marketplace.

When working effectively, a team can provide real benefits for both individuals and organisations, but you should also be aware of the pitfalls of team working. If you simply call a group of people who work together, a team, you will not magically harness the real benefits of team working.  This exciting and practical course examines the key ingredients of successful team performance, which will help you build and develop teams within an organisation.
