Team Building
Introduction
Why team building?
The saying “teamwork makes the dream work” is especially true in the United Nations (UN), where each milestone is achieved thanks to the collaboration of people from diverse backgrounds united by a common purpose. Functional teams, however, do not emerge by chance – they are built through the guidance of skilled, confident and empathetic leaders. As the UN system’s catalyst for leadership development, UNSSC is committed to helping personnel grow into the leaders their teams need.
Building the foundations for effective teams
Our programmes focus on enhancing participants’ skills in the areas that most affect teamwork: conflict management and resolution, giving and receiving feedback, non-violent and effective communication, and compassionate problem-solving. We also empower leaders to engage in collective transformation and manage multigenerational teams, harnessing the diverse strengths of their members to foster innovation, inclusion and productivity.

Organizational and team health assessments
We provide data driven, evidence-based understanding of how teams function within complex organizational systems. By combining quantitative insights with qualitative reflections, the assessment tools we use (CARE and GameChanger) generate a holistic picture of team dynamics and organizational health. Beyond the assessments, we facilitate tailored debrief sessions and action planning workshops, helping teams translate insights into practical steps.
Change clinics
Our behavioural science-informed change clinics help small teams develop a change strategy aligned with their project management strategy. Through a structured process, teams identify and agree on their key change challenge in collaboration with their project teams and their sponsors. They then develop a tailored change strategy and prototype solutions, which are tested with users during the programme. Feedback is incorporated to refine these solutions before teams present their final recommendations to their sponsors.
Strategy development
A tailored facilitation process designed to help organizations or teams craft effective change strategies for specific transformations. This solution often combines facilitation with advisory services and, where appropriate, executive coaching. Depending on the context, the process may include one or several key steps: making the case for change, clarifying a change vision, building and training a change team, developing a change strategy, guiding implementation planning, and strengthening capacity. Strategy development can also incorporate assessments such as organizational change readiness, organizational health, and change impact analysis to ensure a comprehensive approach.
