OBJECTIVETo support a change in culture to be more operationally focused, EDF Energy’s Hartlepool teams needed to break down the silo mentality and develop stronger relationships across the business. The Outward Bound® programme supports the teams to:

- Consider their unique contribution to the team and the impact of these contributions on others

- Strengthen working relationships, to help the task management process and improve performance

- Develop an action plan to ensure an operational focus on their return to work.

SOLUTIONFollowing a framing exercise in which delegates are asked to reflect on their current situation, The Trust delivered a 3-day programme, consisting of:

- An initial outdoor challenge allowing the team to agree their strengths and areas for development

- Daily review sessions to support the transfer of learning to the workplace- A series of team-focused tasks to explore the meaning of effective communication

and the components of high performing teams.- An action planning and peer coaching exercise to consolidate the teams’ learning.

RESULTS- 100% of delegates better understood their individual role within the team and the

effect of this upon the wider group. - 100% felt they had strengthened their working relationships- 100% agreed the programme had been worthwhile to attend.
