Collaborative Team Building Events – United Towards A Common Goal

Collaborative Team Building Events – United Towards A Common Goal

Enquire Now

Team building events are intended to boost collaboration in a fun setting, outside of work. While all team building activities involve teamwork, the format can influence how that collaboration unfolds. Competitive events break teams into smaller groups that face off against each other. This friendly rivalry pushes participants outside their comfort zones, fostering communication as they strive to achieve the best results. In contrast, collaborative team building events focus on the entire team working towards a larger goal. Here, competition takes a backseat to pure collaboration, encouraging a sense of shared purpose and teamwork to achieve a collective outcome.

At GOTO Events we have a wide selection of team building and collaboration events that aim to unite everyone towards a common goal. While groups will be split into smaller teams, each team collaborates internally on a sub-section of the bigger objective. The magic truly happens when these smaller teams need to collaborate with each other to achieve the final outcome. The end result is a powerful “aha” moment: even though teams worked separately, their collective effort made the impossible, possible. This experience strengthens team dynamics, boosts motivation and creates a lasting sense of accomplishment that translates back to the workplace.

Here are 15 collaborative team building activities that will unite your team towards a common goal and inspire a deeper sense of purpose.

1. Masterpiece Team Building

In Masterpiece team building event, participants unleash their creativity to collectively create a giant masterpiece, section by section. Ideal for both small and large groups, teams are tasked with painting individual canvas tiles without knowing how the overall picture will look like. This setup encourages collaboration as teams must work together to replicate a given image as accurately as possible. Plus, to get access to art supplies, teams participate in fun team building challenges.

Once all tiles are painted, they’re joined together to unveil the final masterpiece – a stunning showcase of your team’s creativity and teamwork. The Masterpiece collaborative team building event not only unites your team but also physically joins their contributions to produce something truly beautiful!

In the Bike Build charity team building event, participants are divided into smaller groups, each focused on assembling a bicycle. Teams earn the necessary bike parts by engaging in fun and challenging activities, fostering collaboration across all groups.

Once the bikes are finished, teams personalise them with heartfelt messages for the recipients. The event culminates in a celebratory parade, where everyone comes together to applaud, celebrate and admire the collective achievement, knowing their efforts will positively impact the lives of children in need.

Masterpiece Featured Image

Getting creative with a brush is a favorite activity for any child. As adults, we often forget how fun it is to just let our creativity flow and splash some color on a blank canvas. The Masterpiece corporate event is a unique way to bring everyone together and challenge both kids and adults to tap into their artistic side.

To earn the art supplies, teams will tackle a series of fun and engaging tasks. Once you’ve got your supplies, it’s time to grab the paintbrushes and work with your team to recreate a given picture. While each piece might look abstract on its own, when all the teams finish their canvases, they come together to reveal a stunning masterpiece.

We can tweak this event to fit your crowd, picking the right challenges and artwork that’s relevant to you. Displaying the giant artwork in your office creates a great sense of community and teamwork. Plus, having something your family and colleagues created together will bring a touch of home to your workplace.

Top Inclusive Corporate Team Building Activities

Top Inclusive Corporate Team Building Activities

Enquire Now

Inclusion and diversity in the workplace are not just buzzwords – research has shown that inclusive and diverse organisations are associated with greater productivity, innovation, talent attraction, retention and employee wellbeing. Workplace diversity exists in all organisations and teams, as individuals have different backgrounds, identities and experiences. However, an inclusive workplace is one where these differences are valued and all employees are treated fairly and equally.

As our teams become more diverse, corporate team building activities should reflect this diversity. In the past, traditional team building exercises have fallen short, sometimes excluding or alienating participants, which defeats the whole purpose of bringing the team closer together.

To create truly inclusive team building activities, it’s important to consider the diverse needs and preferences of all team members. Whether it’s accommodating physical abilities, different interests or cultural backgrounds, inclusive team building activities ensure that everyone feels valued and included.

At GOTO Events, we offer a diverse corporate team building portfolio with fun and engaging activities designed to reflect the diversity of teams.
