Virtual Team Program Now In USA Too!

Bridgeworks’ Virtual Team Program was born out of necessity when COVID-19 sent us all into lockdown mode. Ah, the silver linings coming out of COVID!

Creating New Opportunities

First, we developed a new program format to keep building the strength of Australian businesses with the power of an engaged culture. We picked the essential elements of our process and selected new dynamic team activities that would work on Zoom to create powerful team experiences.

Now comes another positive consequence of COVID: Bridgeworks is going offshore! Currently we are negotiating with two organisations in the USA to conduct team programs from my office in Melbourne.

Apparently, it is something to do with my accent. (I actually thought it was them who had the accent!)

This move follows the success of conducting virtual team programs for business here in Australia. One program involved working with all the state managers of a large insurance company. At the end, the National Manager said he was “pleasantly surprised at the value gained from the experience for his managers”.

The 5 Success Factors Of Bridgeworks Virtual Team Programs

In fact there’s no secret to conducting successful Virtual Team Programs (VTP). That is because their critical pillars of success are the same as for our acclaimed on-site and off-site face-to-face programs :

1. Collect good quality data online around how the team sees its ‘health’ (via Bridgeworks Team Health check)
2. Individuals completing online profiles on how they see their behavioural style (via Everything DISC profiling)
3. During the sessions, allow good quality time in break out rooms discussing well framed questions around the team’s issues, challenges and opportunities
4. Finish off with some targeted action plans as to what is to be worked on, followed up or explored – by when, by whom, etc

Oh, and the final point that ensures success…..

5. Have fun and lots of laughs along the way!

Don’t underestimate the critical nature of collecting good quality data (points 1 & 2 above) to properly frame the objectives and desired outcomes. As we have experienced at Bridgeworks, this has been instrumental in achieving our long-term success. It saves wasting time on too much ‘noise’.

Transforming Performance To Thrive After COVID

COVID has made all our lives and businesses more difficult. Now we are going to be fighting a tough economic environment for the foreseeable future. Sooner rather than later, every organisation must sharpen its ability to reach its true potential.
