Play – Connect – Co-create a stronger GIZ Coutry Office Team

GIZ Country Office Vietnam

Duration: 2-day team development workshop June 2023

Being the back bone of the GIZ Vietnam, the Country Office team plays an important role in ensuring all projects are well supported and aligned with the regulations of the organization. There was a strong need to for everyone to work together, come up with creative ideas to increase efficiency and innovation on the work process.

This 2-day Team Development Workshop aims to create space for stepping back (from the usual daily tasks) and stepping up (into deeper connection and innovation), to take a collective breath and unleash the team’s capacity to play and co-create.

The facilitators work closely with the team leaders of the Country Office to co-design a process that integrates creative play, time for deeper connection, and productive brainstorming for ideas to improve the workflow of the organization.

We weave team collaborative games, appreciative inquiry, visual facilitation and other hosting practices to create space for deep sense-making. Along the process, the Country Office members gradually step up to co-facilitate or initiate important topics to be discussed. Collective intelligence is harnessed by alternating serious play time and productive work sessions

• Better clarity on bottlenecks of the process and the roles of each teams in that.
• A list of ideas to prototype together when coming back from the workshop.
• Better connection with other colleagues
