We asked our CIBC executive sponsor to provide feedback in each of the following areas:

---

Building relationships:      

"The event was excellent for bringing together people who did not know each other very well and accelerating the relationship building process."

 

---

Communication:            

"Everyone learned a lot about the importance of being clear in communications and the complications resulting from ambiguous communications."

 

---

 

Employee appreciation:     

"We used various rewards and were inclusive of many roles in our business such that people found the event fun and an act of recognition."

 

---

 

Reinforcing value of teamwork:

"Every team had to develop norms, many identified leaders, some were successful, some were not.  Everyone learned the value of many contributions exceeds the results of one indivdual."
