Teamwork Remote Delivery - Course Modules

Time:
The exercise in this module can be completed in about 60 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing about 90 minutes for this module.

Aims:
• To identify specific actions that will enable groups to achieve a shared vision.
• To help individuals see how they will contribute to the achievement of a shared vision.

Group Size:
This module can be used with groups of up to 12 participants. It’s not suitable for 1-1 training.

Useful For:
Staff at all levels working in a team. It is particularly well suited to new teams formed for a fixed period to manage/implement a project.

You'll Need:
• To have pre-prepared a free Jamboard for the session. There is guidance to help you.

Notes:
This module allows the group to share and develop ideas for achieving their shared vision.

The group need to be clear about what their vision is. If they’re not, we recommend using Creating a Shared Vision first.

You will need to pre-prepare a PowerPoint slide to display at the start of the exercise reminding them of their vision statement.

This is a long session for Remote Delivery, so we suggest taking a 15-20 minute break in the middle where indicated in the notes.
