Running online team building
For teams that want to work together better, even when they mostly see each other online.
An active format
Online team building becomes valuable when it's more than entertainment.
Online team building takes more than a nice activity. We design online team development in which teams learn, reflect and experiment together — with a lasting effect on how they collaborate, communicate and deliver.
Connection with an effect
Not a game with no consequences, but formats that strengthen collaboration, trust and communication. With a result that lasts.
Especially good for hybrid teams
Teams that work apart lose their bond faster. Online team building makes that bond tangible again.
Designed around your team
Every team is different. We design the programme around the situation, the questions and the goals of the team itself.
In practice
Three examples. Years of experience.
New project teamGetting to know each other before the start
A project team with people from several organisations wants to lay a foundation quickly. We design an online session with introductions, working agreements and a short collaborative task.
Hybrid departmentWorking together better at a distance
A department works partly from home and partly in the office. In a series of online team development sessions they examine what does and doesn't work in their meetings, decisions and communication.
International teamConnecting around a shared task
For an international team we build online team building with creative tasks, a game and reflection. The session gives energy and produces firm agreements about working together.
Preparation is everything

What a successful running online team building needs.
01
A clear question from the team
Is it about getting acquainted, trust, collaboration or energy? The question decides whether the session leans playful, reflective or developmental.
02
A safe environment
Teams share more when the set-up is safe and clear. So we work with clear boundaries and formats that make taking part easy without putting anyone on the spot.
03
Attention to what comes next
A session is a beginning, not an end. Team development sticks when there are agreements for afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Does team development really work online?
Yes. Teams these days often work together online. It then makes sense to practise, reflect and develop online as well.
How large can a team be?
We usually work with groups of 6 to around 50 participants.
Is it a single session or a programme?
Both are possible. Many organisations choose a programme with several sessions.
Which formats do you use?
Anything from reflective conversations and simulations to interactive exercises, games and team dialogues.
Which software do you use?
We always pick the environment that fits the purpose best — though we lean towards SpatialChat, because a great deal is possible there and because the backdrops genuinely enrich the context of an exercise or a conversation.
What does online team development cost?
That depends on group size, the number of sessions and the support you want. Do just call or email; we're glad to talk it through and give you a figure.

What is the difference between team building and team development?
Team building is often about connection. Team development goes a step further and looks at collaboration, roles and results as well.
Does this work for hybrid teams?
Yes. Hybrid teams in particular tend to benefit from explicit attention to how they work together.
Can you build something bespoke?
Yes. Almost every programme is designed specifically for the team.
Can you work with team assessments?
Yes. Existing team assessments or research can be taken into account.
How do you measure the result?
That differs per programme. Often we work with goals set beforehand and moments of evaluation.
Can several teams take part at once?
Yes. We regularly run programmes with several teams inside one organisation.
