Group Problem-Solving & Team-Building
Group problem-solving activities, or initiatives, provide an opportunity for team members to effectively communicate, co-operate and interact with each other to solve a problem which often has more than one ‘answer.’
These activities often stimulate significant growth for a group, especially if their experience is processed upon completion.
Problem-Solving activities typically feature the following characteristics:
- Physical and/or verbal interaction among group members
- High levels of arousal and excitement
- Opportunities for trust, leadership, communication and group co-operation to emerge
- Focus on the process, not just the task
