Innovation and Team Building

There's more to innovation than discovering new ideas, methods, and making known some new ways by which things can be done. Innovation also entails approach to changes so as to achieve better products and services and the modification of business models. Being innovative is simply putting one's creative ability to work.

Innovation has been proven to give every company an edge over others, gives them opportunities to penetrate faster into markets and open them up to bigger opportunities. Innovation also increases the growth rate of a company making the company more aware of the originality of some concepts.

Innovation involving teamwork is mostly on the part of leaders. Their job is to assemble teams and lead them in getting optimal outcomes. Listed below are ways by which a leader can foster innovation with their teams.

1. Trust yourself so well, so you can trust others: Transparency is needed for every member of the team more than they have ever been because innovation requires bringing new ideas and schools of thought instead of the old ones, every member must trust themselves so they can trust each other, this fosters bonding & brings understanding and makes one patient enough to listen to others and understand their point of view.

2. Work together and discover: To collaborate doesn't necessarily have to do with working together alone but also taking steps together to discover and then get possible outcomes of new ideas and inventions. No one knows which innovation would bring influence and impact on the company in the marketplace.

3. Always communicate to learn: A team needs enough communication to always achieve their aim because, without it, a team would not get each other and would not bond. It is through communication that a team gets to collaborate, work together and discover innovations needed for the company.

4. Be a courageous change agent: Every leader should inculcate the habit of critical thinking into each member of the team and make them see improvements in whatever they do. Only a courageous person would see through the lens of improvement.

Exciting fun innovative activities that bring out innovative ideas in people

The Drone Challenge: it's about putting a team's collaboration skills into test in a flight. As a group, you will discuss, plan and build obstacles for drones to pass through. These obstacles will need to meet the given requirements by the Flight School so as to ensure safety for the drones and 100% fulfillment for your team because your obstacles will be challenged by other teams.

How to Decide Which is the Best Team Building Event Experience For Your Corporate Company?

At Jambar Team Building we have discovered one important thing after delivering over 1000 events: there is a difference and it’s important.

Well, both bonding and building are designed to be fun, but that is where the similarity ends. Bonding can be anything where there is limited learning or facilitation.  For example, paint balling, art jamming, archery tag, terrarium making or escape the room.  As a company you turn up, split into teams, have the rules explained and off you go. 1 hour later there is likely to be a winning team and you are done.   The hope here is that the activity alone will encourage bonding, fun, getting to know colleagues better, which it does to a certain extent, but that is where the benefit ends.  Team bonding doesn’t address communication skills, interpersonal issues, learning from the activity or specific outcomes like corporate values that your company may have.

Not long ago at one of Jambar team building events we were told that 2 specific people couldn’t be put in a team together because they had had problems at the office and weren’t talking to each other.  As a facilitator at the time, I had a chat with both of them for 5 minutes before the start of the event and then, before the main activity began, Jambar’s Chain Reaction Challenge, the whole group discussed the benefits of working together.  While I don’t expect they became best friends, by the time we got to the debriefing they were talking and cooperating. A huge improvement according to the management.  If the group had gone paint balling instead, it’s likely they would have just aimed at each other and nothing would have improved in their relationship.

Hence, what’s the key difference.  Well there are two things, one is the activity type and the other is the quality of facilitation.

The team building activity: In general, the activity needs to encourage real team interaction, where people have dependences on each other for a good outcome.  Art Jamming and other bonding activities don’t usually provide that. In Jambar’s ‘Change it Up’ negotiation activity, teams can’t do well unless they there is good communication and collaboration with both themselves and other teams.  A big difference.

The facilitation:  hand in hand with the activity is the facilitator.  It is the facilitators’ job to weave learnings into the experience from the moment (and arguably before) the event starts to the final debriefing.  Encouraging the teams to think for themselves, inviting each individual to be curious about themselves and others, and considering what it is they learn from this experience, while at the same time keeping the fun!

If all you want is fun, look at team bonding, if you want fun, real learning outcomes and improved relationships look to Jambar's big team building activities.
