Aims and Objectives
This workshop formed part of Tuschemy’s Development and Empowerment Series and aimed to strengthen collaboration, clarify roles, and develop the skills, attitudes and values that define a thriving team within the Administration and Office staff.
Workshop Overview
Using the Toyota Kata process, the team worked through timed puzzle-building challenges requiring strategy, communication and rapid adaptation across multiple rounds. They each assessed a bank of twenty teamwork traits before collaborating on a shared set of values. A logo design activity brought the team’s identity to life — capturing the unity and the range of roles within the Office. The workshop concluded with a team affirmation exercise and a cross-departmental competition against Management and Sales, including construction duplication, puzzle racing and a tallest tower challenge.
Key Insights
The team reached strong consensus around six core teamwork values: a clear plan of action, defined roles and responsibilities, effective communication, respect, discipline, and a commitment to learning from setbacks. Puzzle results improved with each round as strategy sharpened and roles became better defined.
Outcomes
The affirmation exercise brought the workshop to a meaningful close, with team members reflecting on what they value most about being part of the Office team — highlighting the energy, dependability and shared purpose that defines how they work together every day.
