The University of Trinidad and Tobago

In partnership with Cambridge, Rick was fortunate to also work in Trinidad, offering them the same courses for their post graduate delegates - see full details here.

The MPhil in Industrial Systems, Manufacture and Management (ISMM) is a world famous eleven month postgraduate programme designed to provide graduates with the technical skills, personal development and industrial experience they need to become effective immediately in their early careers in industry.

Because project work in collaborating companies takes up 40% of the course and forms the backbone of ISMM, the need for effective teamworking throughout is vital. Thus the teambuilding we delivered in October each year had to be focussed, practical and  pragmatic - made even more important by the diverse profile of each group - the October 2014 intake, for example, was 40 graduates - from 21 different countries!  

Rick and his team designed unique results-orientated programmes for 15 consecutive years! Teambuildinbg at the beginning of the course and then Leadership towards the end to send them out into the real world!

 

The Teambuilding was “twin-centre” - on campus in Cambridge on the first day, we introduced the principles, psychologies and disciplines of “Share, Care, Communicate” and team members learned about themselves and each other with “Experiential Teamworking Personality Profiling”. Then the group, including course tutors, moved to the Peak District to practice the principles and get to know each other, through participating in the "Pub Quiz", “Valley Challenge”, the “Marketing of Castleton” and the “Reservoir Challenge” exercises.

 

Then in May/June each year we delivered a purpose designed “Leadership In Action” course based at Great Tower Camp Site, Windermere in the Lake District. The purpose was to give each course member the disciplines and tools to apply effectively the responsibilities of leadership they will inevitably have to do, even in the early years of their careers. And Rick ensured that all left being able to say "share, care, communicate" in a Liverpool accent - irrespctive of their first language!
