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.

These leadership programs exposed us to a broad level of outside-in thinking and increased our ability to have strategic level conversations. We are seeing more promotions internally and do not have to hire outside. Driving business improvements is essential and these programs have accomplished this. We are breaking down silos with a better understanding of what the business needs.

"The team have come a long way since we started our journey. I’m happy to say they are a productive, settled and fun team to work with and I’ve enjoyed my time with them. We worked on the areas the TPI report highlighted for us, we spent time on developing our relationships – and we grew more respectful of each other. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to gain those insights and improve our service.”

"Working with Impact was certainly enjoyable. I particularly valued their ability to creatively interpret ideas into activities, their willingness to share their extensive knowledge and their flexibility in responding to our ever-changing requirements. The dedication and commitment the facilitators demonstrated throughout the actual event went above and beyond. The result ~ an experience that challenged our graduates, exceeded my own expectations and provided real value for our business.”
