What is the TeamMachine?

In today’s workplace stressed by distributed and hybrid structures, the TeamMachine offers a high-energy, strategic way for employees to reconnect with purpose and build trust that strengthens performance across teams.

The TeamMachine is a high-energy simulation that drives cooperation, communication, and teamwork across silos. It tackles a critical challenge in today’s distributed and hybrid workplaces: helping employees who rarely work in the same place—and sometimes have never met—build fast, meaningful connection.

The TeamMachine is a shortcut to building trust in our increasingly diverse global marketplace. It provides a practical roadmap for all employees to reframe the organizational goals, engage in self-reflection and begin a WE-building action plan to collaborate across departmental differences, silos and many other factors.

In 2 hours, participants will gain insight into individual and group behaviors that work well and, most importantly, will recognize behaviors that must be adjusted in order for the organization to achieve better communication, strong relationships and effective teamwork. Participants are on their feet thinking, communicating and problem-solving from beginning to end. 

The TeamMachine strongly emphasizes communication and teamwork across silos.

The most important outcome that results from participation in the TeamMachine exercise is a clear understanding that people from different backgrounds or from other departments within the same organization are allies, not competitors. The TeamMachine helps participants quickly and clearly understand that making a deliberate effort to cooperate and communicate successfully with others within their organization is a business imperative for success in the 21st century marketplace.
