“Walking the talk and prototyping”
Q: Do you pay attention to trends?
For Teambuilding Academy to be, and to stay, at the top end of our industry, paying attention to trends is of utmost importance. There are two crucial factors in this: the development of the HR field and the trends in incentive event management.
The HR field is becoming more agile, as well as more and more aware of the fact that building an efficient team is a planned process, not just something that happens and comes about “per se” or by chance. That is why we work closely with the HR departments of our clients, cooperating with them to offer the highest quality of services designed to fit their overall HR strategy. We combine knowledge about HR trends with them and together we set up modern teambuild- ing, combining training sessions with modern incentive events.
Q: How do you feel about technology?
In our field of work, on first glance we could say that technology is “to blame” for the degradation of the personal connections in teams. This is somehow true if we look at work in a traditional way, but modern organisations know how to best utilise technology to foster relations between people. The future of teamwork is more and more dependent on long-distance cooperation. Our goal is to build and disseminate the culture of keeping people close together, even from afar, in order to raise their productivity.
Integration of high-tech elements of course gives us numerous opportunities to create high quality and engaging teambuilding events. Connecting globally dispersed teams into “real time” teambuilding events, modern high-tech “treasure trails”, mobile “escape rooms” or the integration of gaming is definitely a trend we work on.
Q: How are you competitive and innovative?
Our competitive advantage lies mainly in us walking the talk and prototyping. Each and every programme we offer is firstly tested by our team and only after it reaches our high quality standards is it offered to the market.
We focus on content teambuilding, meaning that we thoroughly understand the fact that every team is different, every business has another business story and the approach to raising their effectiveness is different, so most of our programmes are exclusive and custom made. We try to implement the latest knowledge, pro- cesses, equipment and technology to offer our clients the best possible services they can get. Therefore, we are happy to be the trendsetters in the fields of integration of teambuilding and event management.
