Most organizations understand that survival depends on the involvement and participation of employees, bringing together people to offer suggestions and input about their work. Developing the next generation of leaders depends on this kind of involvement in team building activities.

What’s needed now is not more communication, but higher quality, consensus-driven collaboration. Skills in facilitation, consensus building and collaborative problem-solving are the vehicles.

For the last 30 years, the research and consulting of Drs. Susan and Peter Glaser have been moving organizations toward a more collaborative culture. They have discovered the primary ingredients of dynamic team building, which fuel successful dialogue, deliberative discourse, thoughtful engagement, and creative problem-solving. We call this module Hardwiring Teamwork.
