Team Building workshops — Flourishing Teams

Team Building events

For teams to perform well in a challenging environment, the team members need to trust each other. There are many aspects to building this trust (see also our psychological safety tips). With our team building events, we focus on building stronger social connections and strengthening collaboration and communication.

FLIP events

FLIP stands for Fun, Learn, Improve and Probe. These are the main ingredients for a great team event. We have facilitated many team events based on the FLIP format. While the actual energizers, workshops, serious games and team building exercises vary (we have a huge list to choose from), the format comes in 2 flavors:

One main event for the whole team
Several shorter sessions over 1-2 weeks, for those team members that are interested

Each flavor has pro’s and con’s. We can help you work out which one best fits your situation.

FUN

High performing teams doing knowledge work need trust. One part of building trust is by getting to know each other. Having fun together is a great way to do this, and it also helps build relationships which strengthen the team. PragmaticAll has a selection of activities in this category. Some are purely for fun, others combine fun with learning.

LEARN

A FLIP event isn’t complete without a learning activity. All of our learning options are highly interactive and practical. Many result in knowledge or skills that can be immediately applied.

IMPROVE

Want to improve your process? Let’s do a structured workshop! Want to improve communication, collaboration or insights into each other’s strengths and weaknesses? Let’s do a serious game with a great debrief.

PROBE

Trying out new practices or habits can be scary. By trying it out in a safe environment, or by collaboratively designing an experiment, you can get over your fear more easily. In a probe activity we do exactly that! It could be trying out a new tool, doing a proof of concept, or designing an experiment to do next Sprint.
