Custom Team Building Through Creative Problem Solving
Action Steps is a customizable team building program that combines creative problem-solving activities with leadership development and strategic planning. Each session is designed around your specific goals, helping teams develop collaboration skills through engaging challenges that are both fun and purposeful.
how action steps works
Teams work through a series of hands-on team challenges—from navigating blindfolded communication exercises to solving complex coordination puzzles—each designed to reveal real workplace dynamics around decision making, resource allocation, and cross-functional collaboration. Our facilitators guide meaningful discussions after each activity, helping teams identify concrete action steps for applying insights back at work.
Every Action Steps program culminates in an action planning session where teams commit to specific next steps, ensuring that the team development experience translates into lasting behavioral change and improved team performance.
Sample Activities:
MindField – Guide blindfolded team members through obstacles to retrieve critical information, practicing high-quality communication and resource distribution
