To discover
In the Team Wizard training, you will discover which processes play a role in teamwork. Processes in team development, processes in the motivation of team members, processes in making work predictable, and processes that promote team learning. Basically, you learn how you eat an elephant…, in small bites.

To experience
You also experience a different way of approaching problems. You investigate the effect of conversation techniques that promote self-reliance in solving work disruptions. You gain experience with all that you have learned during the training. This way, your backpack is optimally filled to get started in your own team(s) to collaborate more effectively. All the discussed elements of our team approach are playfully woven into the training.
