Team Development

Managing Horizons makes a distinction between team training and team building.  

Team training is the learning of specific skills through the phases of team development - forming, storming, norming, performing, ending.  Depending on the business strategies, it may also include the skills needed to evolve to a self-directed or self-managed team.

Team building is targeted for intact teams - whatever their developmental phase. It helps them build/strengthen relationships and practice teamwork with a focus on applying learning for real-world results.

Often, team training and team building are combined in interventions over time.
