WTTW in the Real World™

Environment

Work Teams That Work in the Real World™ is an extensive four day workshop where participants experience "becoming" a high performance team in a real product-focused environment. This workshop is designed to explore three key principles of high performance:
Open Systems - High performance organizations exist in an "open system" and build effective processes to respond to all demands of that system.
Learning - High performance organizations understand how individuals learn and create an environment which encourages learning through product focus, exploration, experience, and continual improvement.
Accountability - High performance organizations
require and create processes to account for their
results to the larger systems.

What Makes Work Teams That WorkTM Unique?
Participants of Work Teams That WorkTM are asked to do much more than come and hear about high performance organizations. They are asked to “build” one and “be” one. Throughout the week, they carry out a series of “learning tasks” which require reading, discussion, and development of a “learning product” from the team’s personal learnings. These learning products are “sold” through group presentations in the “market place” where other learning organizations are also competing.
The “learning tasks” are not role plays, not building and marketing an “imaginary” product, not exercises with a singular definitive answer, and not games. The tasks provide information and direction to team members which they must explore, understand, and then build real team processes in order to compete.
