Leadership, Team Skills & Collaboration

"I thought the course was fabulous! The best course I have ever attended, certainly I have never laughed so much. I also think it will have a lasting effect on me in house every time I think about leadership, team working & collaboration."

Ministry of Justice

In the current VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) the ability to function as a flexible and adaptive team is vital for organisations. Inter- and intra-organisational collaborations are becoming the norm, as complex projects require the input of multiple specialists and stakeholders. 

The Leadership, Team Skills & Collaboration and course focus on boosting effective teamwork and collaboration, using Applied Improvisation as a fast-track experiential methodology.  It aims to help individuals and teams to become more effective by providing direct experiential insight into which attitudes, mindsets, and behaviours help and hinder this development.

This course is from our Leadership & Management series. At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
