TEAM THINK - The BUILD Way

TEAM THINK combines business theory with hands on experience to create a workshop in which individuals leverage their own strengths with the resources available in their environment. It provides participants the tools to act in the moment in a way that improves and strengthens all processes, goals and strategies-now and in the future.

In this workshop, participants can expect facilitators who have taught business management classes at some of the top universities including Duke, UCLA, and Georgetown, as well as Fortune 500 corporations worldwide. The learning exercises are designed to enable participants to commit to a shared vision, drop inhibitions and to think creatively on their feet.
