IGEOS offers a three and five-day learning experience that functions as a team simulator for up to 100 participants. From the outset participants engage in a series of simulated team tasks designed to hold a mirror to the best and the worst of their current team behaviors and attitudes. In a confidential and safe environment, the highest standards of team performance are established, allowing participants to see unproductive patterns, explore new behaviors and make needed changes in mindset.

The goal of the training is to enable each team member to shift from an individual to a team mind-set. While working together on the team tasks, participants have frequent opportunities to recognize the gap between thinking like an individual and thinking as a team member, and to do whatever it takes to close that gap. The simulator makes it obvious when someone acts from an agenda divergent from that of team success and is unrelenting in requiring discipline, awareness and commitment. Thinking as a team is a very different kind of activity. Participants have to challenge their habit of acting and thinking as an individual and become aware about the whole team and its movement toward accomplishing the stated goal. One simple example – about one hour into the training, the facilitator may ask the group to decide if it is time to take a break. Invariably at least a few reply with a “no”, before realizing that they could only be speaking from an individual perspective while presuming to be answering for the entire team.
