Team building exercises which include problem solving games are a great tool. They can be used to promote collaboration, brainstorming and creative problem solving. As a result, problem-solving exercises provide a great opportunity for your team to develop a greater sense of team unity. In addition, they also provide a platform where your team can get to know each other on a much deeper basis. Plus, they allow your team to learn about each other’s strengths and support each other to overcome obstacles. Solving a problem together also means that your team will work together and gain a shared sense of achievement.
