Team building in Szczecin through shared decisions
How can a scenario-based team event include everyone and turn the debrief into practical learning?
Choose the aim before the activity
Before booking, decide what the team should practise. Is it sharing information, assigning responsibility or asking for support? A clear aim makes it easier to choose an exercise. Describe the group, venue and conditions in your brief. WCSiB can then prepare a scenario for office colleagues, travelling staff or a customer-facing team.
Give everyone a role
A scenario may need someone to observe the surroundings, someone to communicate and someone to coordinate the response. Rotate these roles. A colleague who prefers not to join a physical exercise can observe communication and share feedback. Agree on these options before starting so everyone understands how they can participate.
Teamwork that can be discussed afterwards
A scenario gives a team a shared problem: exchange information, agree roles and make a decision. Useful observations include who noticed an important detail, whether messages were understood and whether everyone knew their task. Competition between colleagues is not necessary for engagement.
Afterwards, the facilitator can ask for one moment when cooperation helped and one when something was unclear. Discuss actions without labelling people brave or weak. This makes it easier to connect the experience with everyday work. When requesting an event in Szczecin, describe the team and the purpose of the session so the proposed scenarios are relevant to that goal.
Finish with a concrete agreement
After the exercise, ask which information reached everyone and which stayed with one person. Discuss the moments when the plan changed. Choose one behaviour to use at work, such as confirming that a message has been received. The organiser can revisit this agreement after the event and see how the team uses it.
