In my second session of team development, I would wish to achieve good communication skills and creativity in my team. Good communications will facilitate mutual understand of one another in the team as well as improve teamwork and cooperation within team members. On the other hand, creativity will boost innovation in the business organization. The learning discipline I will apply with my group is Team Leaning discipline. The exercise I will use to promote capacity in team based on team learning involves constructing something which is known as “If you build…it”. In the exercise, my team members will be expected to engage in a building exercise using shapeless blocks where the person who builds the tallest wall will be the winner.

The intended purpose for session two of team development is to improve communication skills in the business organization as well as boost creativity among the team members. Today, we live in a world where innovation has taken over the business as many business organizations are competing through innovation. In addition, communication has also become a key aspect of business operations. Without proper communication in a business organization, operations would be challenging thus leading to failure. This session of team development intends to improve communication and creativity.

Change management is the procedure and techniques used in a business organization to manage individuals in an effort bring significant change to the organization (Reiß, 2012). Change management employs tools that can spearhead individuals in the direction of bringing successful changes to the organization. Team learning involves teamwork aimed at achieving a common goal. In team learning, we have discussions between members, conflict resolutions and dialogues. Systems thinking involve management of complex systems in an organization that depend on each other to operate successfully. The learning discipline I have selected is Team learning which involves working together as a group to achieve a common goal. The reason why I selected Team Learning is because Team Learning matches the business organizational design. Team learning is important in creating teamwork, improving communication skills as well as enhancing creativity among group members (Gafney & Varma-Nelson, 2008).

The group exercise I have selected is “If you build it…” which involves a construction activity whereby the person who constructs the tallest wall using shapeless blocks becomes the winner. In the exercise, the members will arrange themselves in pairs whereby each pair will work together. This team development material will be very useful in team development. The team members will learn how to consult one another and come up with great ideas. The organization for my project is a business organization which manufactures snacks. The organization focuses on coming up with new innovations in its production. The aim of this business organization is to deliver what is currently needed in the market. Therefore, the organization needs to conduct team development sessions regularly in order to strengthen its teamwork as well as come up with more innovative ideas.

The session tow of my team development will take place on 20th August, 2016 at 9.00 am to 2.00 pm. The organization team members participating in this session include the following:

· John Arthur, sales manager

· Lewis M. George, supervisor

· Dennis Green, production manager

· Titus Wilson, member

· Gideon Robert, member
