The Challenge: Teams are often held back by silo-working, lack of trust and poor communication. Performance and productivity are reduced, frustration and disengagement increase.

The Solution: Learners will use WorldPrism to diagnose the issues blocking collaboration and will learn how to build trust and psychological safety in their team, using the CARE model.

The Results:

Increased performance
Raised productivity
Better engagement
More effective collaboration
