Teamwork Cards
Since 1987, when Idea Champions launched, we've heard the word "teamwork" bandied about thousands of times like some kind of medieval incantation. Inspired CEOs, Senior Leaders, and Human Resource Directors invoke the word religiously and God-knows-how-many hallways are plastered with cheesy posters of earnest looking people rowing a boat together. Help! The actual quality of dependable, smooth-functioning, go-beyond-the-call-of teamwork in most organizations? That's a whole other story. We aim to change that. One Teamwork Card at a time. We're not saying we've invented the magic pill. We haven't. But we have invented a way to invoke some magic — especially when it comes to groups becoming teams and teams becoming high performing teams. Our Teamwork Cards spark reflection, insight, connection, clarity, meaningful conversation, and demystify a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo about what it really takes to make teamwork a day-to-day reality on the job. No workshop is needed. No training. No webinar. Just the willingness to pause for a few minutes and consider what you and your team might need to do differently.

Team Innovation
Innovation is a team sport. Brilliant ideas go nowhere unless your people are aligned, collaborative, and team-oriented. That doesn't happen automatically, however. It takes intention, clarity, selflessness, and a new way of operating.

While it's true there is no "i" in "team", there is definitely an "i" in "insight", "inclusiveness" and "interdependence" — which is precisely why Idea Champions' created its deck of Teamwork Cards. Our intention is simple one: to help aspiring innovators and teams of all kinds radically increase their odds of collaborating at a high level.
