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.

FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY (DELETE AND REPLACE):
  • 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.

"18 months into the graduate leadership development programme, and I can truly say it has been such a great experience. The activities we have undertaken have ranged from learning presentation skills, understanding your impact in a team, to having a lot of fun along the way with challenging activities, such as white water rafting and rock climbing. The external training we are fortunate enough to receive, as well as on-the-job training has helped me to build on my career."

"Focusing on our principals, this programme was to be dynamic and challenging, featuring leadership and business development elements aswell as opportunities to drive our strategy, mission and values. For this reason, we decided to partner with the team at Impact and The Talea Group to collaboratively scheme this long-term programme we now call Apex."
