EFFECTIVE TEAMWORK, COLLABORATION & COMMUNICATION
How it works...
WorkingSm@rt using Microsoft Teams
At some point, every team feels a disconnect in collaboration and communication, but if it's a lot of the time, then you and your team need a road map to improve the process and get better results.
A sports coach will try to merge individual skills and strengths to show players that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When a person's focus changes from 'individual behaviour' to 'contribution to a goal', then anything becomes possible.
Whether you're a department, loosely knit workgroup or an existing team, this workshop will take you through an important set of processes and tools to develop essential team skills.
This course will help you:
-
Understand the key role of WorkingSm@rt to enhance team performance
-
Set up Microsoft Teams and establish rules of engagement
-
Maximize the ability to effectively collaborate across and within Teams
-
Understand the best practices for communicating while using Microsoft Teams
-
Understand how to manage both operational and project tasks
Who Should Attend:
Workgroups and teams, including those who work in a Microsoft Teams environment.
