Corporate Team Building Assignment

Corporate Team Building

Project Guidelines

• The assignment will include both a written and oral component. A copy of the PowerPoint or Prezi slides and the written paper will be turned in at the time of the presentation.
• Your group has been hired as a team building consultant by the CEO, of a company. You will need to select an organization you wish to “consult for”.  You have been hired as a corporate team building consultant (“industry expert”) by this organization.  You may choose an organization that one of the group members is familiar with, has worked for, or you may select another company.  Your group must plan a corporate team building program for this company.  It may be a program for a certain division or level of employees.  When developing your program try to consider what a realistic budget for this might be.
• Remember this is a team assignment. Use the talents and strengths of the individual members to divide the tasks/workload for the project.  Don’t forget your team player styles when considering the division of the workload.
• Each group will prepare a 10-12 minute, formal presentation to present an overview of the findings to the class. The presentation should be in the format as if you were presenting your proposed Team Building Program to the CEO, VP of Human Resources, and the executive team of the company.
• Have fun with this and be creative! Think out of the box.
• Each group member will be required to evaluate other group members on their level of participation and overall contribution to the team’s success on this project.
• Classmates will have input on evaluating the presentations of all groups.

Paper Structure

The paper should be structured as the formal program proposal you are giving to the client.

• Introduction/Overview
• Give a brief overview of the company you have selected (history of the company, type of market, service/products, location(s), number of employees, etc.).
• Briefly define/introduce the goals of your program.
• Your Plan
• Plan the entire team building event. (You might want to give the client a few options.) Be very specific – include:

– consulting overview (how many people you will have working on this,                    your fees, and what you will offer)

– Who is invited (target audience) including numbers

– Venue

– Meals (if any)

– Transportation (if needed)

– Program Activities – in detail

– Detailed schedule/timeline of event

– Cost analysis/Budget (ALL associated costs – make sure to price things out)

– Program evaluation

• Conclusions of what your program will provide in terms of benefits to the organization.
