About

With operations in 50 countries and 68,000 employees, Thales is a global technology leader for the aerospace, space, defence, security and transportation markets. Impact have run the team building module in partnership with the Thales Université SMP programme since 2002.

During the nine-month programme, the SMP participants are tasked with managing a real business project. The team building module is designed as a launch event, to help prepare the group to work collaboratively, whilst remotely, on their chosen project. Team working, intercultural awareness, communication skills and networking opportunities are all covered in the programme. 

Impact designed an interactive programme that uses experiential projects to highlight the value of collaboration and sharing. Expertly facilitated review sessions encourage opportunity for open dialogue about effective team working. By the end of the first module, participants have established how they will work efficiently together as project teams. 

Impact's work in close partnership with Thales Université, and our ongoing dialogue and strong relationship results in a consistently relevant and fresh event. The participants enjoy getting to know one another socially and value Impact’s support to establish an effective project team relationship.

“What Impact really brought to the table was the human element. They really listened to what we wanted, and every time we posed a problem or had a question, instead of getting frustrated, they were excited by it! That attitude is the attitude we want for our staff and our students.”

"This part of the programme is always done in the early stages; the difference it has made to clients has been overwhelming. Once clients have returned they are more motivated, their managers notice a big difference from carrying out their daily activities to taking on new responsibilities, and they speak highly of the staff that supported them.”
