Team building day designed to challenge thinking

The new leadership team has evolved over the past 30 months, they have worked cheek by jowl, but it's now time to reflect, reset and go again!

The business has come a long way in a short period

It’s been almost two and a half years since James Hamilton took the CEO position at Rudolph & Hellmann, and there have been lots of changes. One of the biggest is the creation of the central project team. This team of specialists is on hand to support organisations make the transformational changes needed to innovate, become leaner and efficient.

OMIL III Programme

A day away from the pressures of work, a little fun and personal development were organised to further foster the team spirit and direction of the business. Facilitated on a RIB, (Rigid Inflatable Boat), the OMIL III Programme is designed to stimulate ‘leadership thinking’ through experiential coaching in foreign environments whilst undertaking challenging tasks. The sessions and programmes are designed to put the individual into a situation where they experience different leadership styles and analyse the impact it has upon them, both motivationally and educationally.

Team building combined with the new business vision

The team were given the new business vision and the outline plan recommended to achieve it in a presentation prior to the Team Building Day. The point of this was everybody in the team has a voice and is directly involved in the direction the business takes over the next 5 years. This away day was designed to help them constructively challenge the plan, to make it as good as it could possibly be before we push the button.

“Everyone in the team plays an important role in the delivery of the vision, they need to understand the part they play – and they need to be fully engaged. We have one plan, we are one team, and the plan needs to be right. This group know our business and what we are capable of more than anyone else. If there is a flaw, or we’re being over ambitious, I trust them to call it out and provide feedback on how we fix it.”
