Collaboration, cooperation and team building

  • How can you, as a company management and executive, increase the quality of cooperation in your company?
  • What should you pay special attention to when leading teams?
  • How can you as a team member influence cooperation in your team?

Today's working world is characterized by high work density, time pressure, complexity and interdependencies. Most tasks can no longer be accomplished alone; goals can often only be achieved in a team and in cooperation with others. Cooperation is the foundation for personal and corporate success.

Constructive cooperation instead of blocking opposition not only feels good, it also pays off.

A compact overview of the content of the prerequisites for cooperation and collaboration is provided by my publication "Promoting Cooperation - Cooperation in Teams: A Practice-Oriented Overview for Managers," published by SpringerGabler."

On the topics

  • Promoting collaboration and cooperation - within the organization and across borders
  • Leading teams and team building: strengthening cohesion and using diversity

I offer you effective impulses in different formats and event forms:

Workshops, Project Kick Off, Teambuilding Events, Training, Coaching, Interactive Presentations - on-site or online.
