Planning a team development day

A good development day strengthens team spirit and solves real problems. A poor one is forgotten within a week. This guide helps you build a day whose results show in everyday work.

You will need

• A budget and approval
• A venue and catering
• A pre-survey for the team
• Facilitation tools, such as sticky notes or a digital whiteboard

Steps

1. Define the goal

   Decide on one main question, for example ‘How do we reduce interruptions?’. Too many goals make the day superficial.

2. Ask the team

3. Book early

4. Build the programme

5. Choose the methods

6. Add something to do together

7. Record what was agreed

8. Follow up afterwards
