About

FDDS and Impact Poland have been cooperating for many years. The foundation was originally invited to collaborate as a social partner on Impact development programmes, taking part in Community Action Learning projects with other Impact clients. In addition, using their volunteering days, Impact Poland consultants delivered cooperation and team coaching workshops for the FDDS team.

As a result of the pandemic, new societal challenges have emerged, and FDDS now face a huge amount of new work. In this context, the foundation recognised an urgent need for a restructure. 

FDDS approached Impact with the intention of building relations within the new management group and strengthening leadership capacity.

  • To increase self-awareness, particularly in terms of how team members interact and communicate with each other at work.
  • To equip participants with communication tools that will support cooperation on a daily basis.
  • To establish a communication contract as a first step towards working and leading together.

Impact designed and delivered a two-day virtual Team Development "Open Communication" for an eighteen-person team (Management Board and project coordinators). We focused on practical tools and projects supporting open communication, building trust, changing attitudes and improving the effectiveness of the team that faced a lack of mutual understanding. At the end, all participants took part in a comprehensive virtual project based on the Experiential Learning method.

Assessment of participants:

  • 9/10 participants agree that the goals of the workshop have been achieved.
  • 8.8/10 participants agree that they will use the conclusions, experiences and knowledge gained in the solution in their daily work.
  • 9.5/10 participants would recommend this workshop to other people in the organisation.

Charter Manufacturing
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.”
