The development of any experiential learning program begins with good needs analysis. Team building program design should include managers and directors. It is very important during needs analysis to take into account the business aims and culture of the organization as a whole as well as the individuals and teams.
The design of experiential learning modules ensures that they offer challenges of an intellectual, emotional and physical nature to the group. In order to achieve positive outcomes, the group must have the skills that enable them to collaborate, participate, plan, problem solve, make decisions and consider the role of leadership when appropriate. Therefore, team building as a function of experiential learning is a key component in strategic development. Experiential learning helps people explore concepts like patience, trust, feedback, listening, effective questioning, communication between generations and levels of management, risk taking, reflection and review.
