Integrating Groups

Two or more work groups rate their interaction

This workshop is appropriate when two or more groups within an organization want to examine their interactions and plan changes to enhance their teamwork effectiveness and inter-group productivity. The focus of the workshop is on the current level of interaction, and what is needed in the future in order for the groups to work more effectively together. Target groups might include functional areas with joint responsibilities, groups working on issues of diversity and integration, different levels of management that need better communication and collaboration, and the like.

The survey results are intended for examination and discussion by members of the groups meeting together in a session ranging from four (4) hours to one day. Action planning or other issues can be raised and integrated into the session as appropriate.
