iBuild: When communication determines success or failure
Strengthening team communication through collaborative building
iBuild is an interactive team event that strengthens communication within the team whilst demonstrating how important the precise exchange of information is for shared success. In small groups, each person takes on a clearly defined role within a communication chain. The shared goal is to construct a model from simple building blocks. The challenge is as simple as it is effective: if you don’t communicate clearly, you’ll end up building the wrong model.
Roles, time pressure and precise feedback
Each group works to a strict time limit. Within this timeframe, information must be passed on precisely and effective feedback provided. That sounds simple. In practice, however, it quickly becomes apparent just how much can go wrong. That is why iBuild encourages all participants to be mindful of how they communicate. This reveals patterns that can be directly applied to everyday working life.
Experiencing cross-departmental collaboration
iBuild is particularly well-suited to companies wishing to improve their interdisciplinary collaboration. The event highlights how information flows between departments and where typical misunderstandings arise. At the same time, it strengthens mutual trust and understanding amongst team members. This fosters a shared awareness of the importance of clear communication.
Reflection as the key to transfer
Once the building is complete, there is a joint reflection session. The teams share their experiences and learn from one another. In the process, they develop concrete insights that can be directly applied to their day-to-day work. In this way, iBuild becomes not only a team event, but also a starting point for a lasting improvement in communication within the team.
