When people think about teambuilding, the first question you often ask is what activity should we do.  This question makes sense.  We want something fun, exciting, interesting.  We want something that will be unique and engaging so that our team will want to participate.

But there is one important question really much more useful which you should ask first to ensure the best outcome.

            The first question is:

            "What do you really want from a teambuilding or leadership event, seminar, workshop, program or activity?"

            The answer?   RESULTS.

Whenever we purchase any product or service, what we really want is the benefit we get from it, right?  For example.  You buy yourself a brand new custom built house.  What do you get?  Yes, you get the house.  But what does it do for you?  Simple shelter?  Pride of ownership?  An investment to grow for the future?  Attention or admiration from others?  A feeling of success?  A sense of security and a feeling of home?  

            RESULTS are what we want. 

When you hire a trainer, event provider or consultant, what you want is a particular outcome.  A particular result.  More teamwork.  Better communication.  More creativity.  Improved problem solving skills.  Increased team cohesiveness.  Enhanced leadership skills.

Results are what we want, and the program, event or activities are the vehicle used to achieve those results.

So when hiring a teambuilding or training company, ask yourself the following question:  “What results do you want to achieve?”

After completing the program, what do you want your people to do differently?  How do you want them to act?  What do you want them to do better.  What them do you want to do less of?  What do you want them to do more of?  How do you want them to feel?  What do you want your team to believe?  What do you want your team to accomplish?

Once you know what you want to achieve, it is simply a matter of choosing a provider who can deliver those results.
