Instructors assign team members one of two classical string instruments: the violin or the viola. Then, they quickly teach them the basics of playing and learning their part in a custom-made composition. At the end, with the accompaniment of a bespoke backing track, the two sections are brought together in perfect harmony. Obviously, there are few prodigal individuals who can learn to play classical music in under an hour, but a team of people working in synergy can. In today’s fast-paced, and ever-changing business climate, it is vital that team members are able to adapt their skills to maintain the effectiveness of the team to both act and react with optimal speed and efficiency. Teamwork and efficient communication skills are clearly paramount, and Crescendo sharpens these skills in an experiential learning scenario that provides lasting results. ## Learning Outcomes ### Change & growth The effectiveness of teams is always in a constant state of flux. Teams grow, they shrink, the dynamics change. To keep teams moving towards their optimal state, we have devised a set of experiences that helps manage their performance. We draw on the power of leadership, empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving to help deliver change. ### Collaboration Improving collaboration across a team is probably the number one way we can help to improve a team’s performance. If you don’t communicate, you can’t collaborate. We start with communication and get it flowing, then get everyone working together. We have found that creating long-term change in the way teams collaborate can be as simple as getting them into a creative frame of mind. Whether the team task is to work together or compete is up to you. ### Creativity Flexing your creative muscles is an ingeniously fun way of improving your problem-solving skills. These skills can make a big difference to how teams approach their day to day, back in the workplace. Our creative experiences allow participants to explore within themselves and collaboratively as teams. Ultimately, these experiences are massively rewarding. **Call us on** [03300 040903](tel:03300040903) **Send us an email** [info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk](mailto:info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk) **Follow us on social** ## Related Experiences Take a scroll through our latest and most popular experiences to inspire your next team building session. - [Funk The Junk](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/funk-the-junk.md): An upcycled musical experience that delivers on-the-spot improvisation using everyday objects.
