Organizing team building trips

We can organize a company trip from A to Z. This means we take full responsibility for the success of the integration event. We can help you select a proper hotel as well as suggest and coordinate all the extracurricular activities such as: the dance, barbecue, paintball match, rally races or a canoeing excursion.
We will help you manage the whole event in a way that you won’t have to worry about anything and just enjoy time spent with your team.

Training-based team building trips

For many years we have specialized in organizing educational trainings, which provide with specific knowledge and skills. However, to keep them attractive for participants, we teach through games, which provide experience and material for analysis and reflection. The side effect of our games is that they strongly integrate teams, which increases their effectiveness. This is why every training we design is aimed at developing cooperation, increasing engagement and strengthening trust in teams.
Often our clients want to avoid boring their employees with lectures and theoretical knowledge, and want to work on the team building. In such cases smart integration is the way to go. It took us many years to perfect this model of team building trips. Smart integration is based on similar projects we use during our trainings, however we limit the theoretical and analytical parts significantly.
Years of experience proved that in order for a team building event to be successful, participants need to believe in its purpose and that what the training provides something extraordinary. This is what smart integrations is.

Captivating team building – i.e. smart integration

Smart integration in a way is a golden mean: it is a sustainable connection of learing and play. A smart integration trip is not only exciting but is very effective in achieving long term goals with regards to organizational culture of the company. This way, it directly influences the atmosphere of the workplace.
Smart integration happens on three levels: organizational, team, and individual.
Organizational level: it influences company’s culture, which on one hand is issued by the top management by setting general standards of conduct, but on the other hand constantly changes when confronted with individual attitudes. This dynamic dialogue can happen in the open during integration events, which leads to creating genuine, not imposed company culture. Being outside of everyday context while participating in games and projects employees are more likely to be open and deepen their relationships. Participants get to know each other better and learn new things about themselves better in action.
As a result of the team building event affiliation to the company increases and work environment gets better.
Team level applies to strengthening the group. During smart integration we build the teams’ strength and teach and develop the participants.
Team learning is crucial, because in modern firms teams are the basic learning entities.
We combine team building trainings with developing their soft interpersonal skills. Such trainings comprise of tasks, projects and games. In order to accomplish them, team needs to cooperate and communicate well. During such meetings affiliation with the team grows, mutual acceptance and trust.
Aside from educational values, the main benefit such events bring are joy of shared activities, satisfaction of being a team member and increased motivation for work.
Individual level concerns a person in the team. The activities and projects we prepare allow participants to identify their roles in a team and diagnose their potential. People participating in our integration meetings receive feedback with regards to how their behaviors influence others.
Most of our projects also increase creativity by increasing participants’ need to think outside the box.

Tailor-cut team building

While organizing an integration even we leave it to client to decide about the proportion of education and play. Each project we created can be used for purely team building purposes, without overburdening participants with learning.
Notwithstanding, we can always introduce theoretical parts which will help teams understand certain processes and increase the knowledge level in the organization.
We solely design our games so we can adapt them to any teams’ particular needs.
