On questions specifically related to our communication (and not illustrated), we discovered communication breakdowns with our more remote teams. Following our survey we took steps to improve this. I do however agree with you on the importance and value of teambuilding in the corporate environment, especially when starting new teams. This is something where I would have liked to have had greater freedom to work on in this particular case. In my experience teambuilding is excellent for initiating healthy relationships that help teams to succeed. My post tried to cover the stage after team formation and look at maintaining a permanent dialogue with teams - something often overlooked. Thanks for participating!

If that is a reflection of the corporate world, Nicholas, that is staggering! I wonder if a key to communicating effectively is being in a team environment. From my own pexperience, I suspect that same group, after they'd been through a good <a href="http://www.teamworx.cc" rel="nofollow">corporate teambuilding</a> program would have an improved effective communication rate.
