The team-building process:

1. Identify the need for your team-building event
   ‍Successful team-building events are strategically designed for a specific purpose. Before you go ahead with planning your team-building event, clearly define its purpose.
   ‍
2. Define the required skills for completing objectives
   Once you know the reason behind your event, it’s time to pinpoint the key skill requirements that you want your team to improve or acquire.
   ‍
3. Start planning your team-building activities
   With a clear vision of the skills you want to develop, it’s now easier to comprise a list of activities that align with your desired outcome. This stage is very important as every team-building activity serves a unique purpose.
   ‍
4. Allocate roles during the event
   The desired outcome of your event will dictate how you assign roles for your event. For example, if you’re looking to improve the working relationships between different levels of the company hierarchy, you’ll want to encourage employees and managers to connect as much as possible throughout the event.
   ‍
5. Communicate the plan and any expectations
   Don’t leave your team in the dark. Be open about what you’re hoping to do, why you’re doing it and how you’re going to achieve it. Be clear about dates, times and locations, and ask your employees for their input.
   ‍
6. Identify strengths and weaknesses
   Once the event is underway, it’s a great opportunity to spot strengths and weaknesses in your team. This information is useful for making important decisions later on.
   ‍
7. Analyse and debrief
   Spend some time analysing the results of your team building event—did you meet your desired outcome? What changes have you seen throughout the event? How could it be improved next time?
   ‍
8. Dissolve and repeat
   At the end of your team-building event, dissolve your team and repeat the process. Don’t forget to ask for feedback from your employees.
