TEAM Simulation
(Benchmark Select™)

TEAM is a team building workshop for employees of all types who wish to experience group dynamics and interpersonal communication in a simulated work setting where performance, interaction, and leadership are monitored and analyzed. In TEAM, participants experience their interdependence with other individuals and departments in business. The program accelerates the pace at which members of a group become a team. TEAM elicits organic leadership and behavioral team-based traits.

In this fast-paced workshop, teams run their own Box Manufacturing Business, wherein they physically produce boxes that are sold into the marketplace at the end of each production period. With each round, the teams are presented with new business challenges, and as a result, they need to communicate, listen well and agree as a team – how they will proceed.

The TEAM Simulation also demonstrates how individuals and the team perform under stress. Team members need to listen, communicate ideas and organize themselves quickly to beat the competition. Teams debrief and analyze team performance throughout the simulation.
