What is The Definition Of Team Building?

Team building is a term used by most people in the corporate events industry but to define it is very hard, as it means many different things to different people.

Wikipedia defines team building as:

"Team building refers to a wide range of activities, usually in a business context, for improving team performance"

At Business Pursuits we refer to it in a similar context and it is by this definition that we distinguish between our team building products and fun team events. All of our fun team events will have delegates working in a team but the key is that our team building products focus on "improving team performance".

When working with Business Pursuits to develop a team building programme, it is "improving team performance" which we focus on but we also firmly believe that in order to run an effective programme guests must have fun. All our games develop key themes to improve performance but at the same time are great fun for delegates to participate in.
