Our One-day workshop is a condensed program to introduce the basics of CRISP and teamwork. You will learn how to use apply both interpersonal and rational problem solving skills with your colleagues. You will also learn how to use the basic problem solving tools to look at a problem with a disciplined approach. This workshop is a great way to rejuvenate your teams!

You will also see how you can describe how your team worked together to solve a problem. The example circumplex below is used to display the driving thinking style your team employeed when trying to solve a problem. Understanding if you have a constructive or negative approach as a team leads to improving how your team solves problems.

Call us to find out the date of our next workshop or we can plan one specifically for your company.

Here are the highlights of the workshop:

Teams and teamwork - training before performance
  • Problem solving tools - use them don't lose them
  • Desert Survival
  • Group Styles Inventory - What thinking style does your team use? Is it effective?
  • Technology - how it serves rather than disturbs
  • Sub-Arctic Survival
  • You will use PathMaker to apply your team skills and document your problem solving process
  • You will be able to apply what you've learned when you return to work
* Can your people really work as a team? Have them attend this workshop and you'll know for certain.

* Do your people actually know how and when to use the basic problem solving tools? They will after the workshop.

* Do you have a way to close-the-loop between training and doing? Again, you will after this workshop.

Workshop fee is $195 per person. If your company sends 3 or more the special rate is $149 per person.







The circumplex is used to graphically display your group style. Teams don't have a way to critically analyze just how well they perform. The Group Style Inventory (GSI) takes the mystery out of understanding if your team is working from a constructive mode or defeating its purpose by working with a defensive or aggressive approach to solving problems. The GSI can also tell you how committed team members are to the solutions the team creates.

We have shown that teams with a profile in the upper half of the circumplex develop better solutions to problems. How do your teams perform? We can help them understand team dynamics and how to improve the quality of their problem solving efforts.

"I really enjoyed this workshop and believe it was good value." Supervisor ABB

"I think this is a great approach. I also feel that if this gets implemented we will see fast results." Supervisor, Callaway Golf

"I like the team concept as defined in this training. The type of team concept I have seen in the past is that of a paradigm of management and not what was used in the CRISP workshop. I believe this is type of teamwork could resolve problems as well as open doors between management and the work force." Hourly employee, Fort Dodge Animal Health
