Most practitioners use the MBTI assessment as a surface tool—considering only four letters and a handful of predicted behaviors. Though such uses of type can be helpful, psychological type is an intricate system that produces powerful insights into the structure and dynamics of individuals, work groups and organizations. Building Teams with Type, one of OKA's longest-running and most sophisticated offerings, aims at experientially exploring type's complexities and their effective application to teams and organizations.

This hands-on workshop assists practitioners in designing group-learning and team-building programs that are tailored to the individual needs of the client. The class is taught in a small group, laboratory-like format combined with lecturettes while always drawing on the broad experience of the participants. The workshop culminates in the design of a team-building session based on a case study that integrates all the workshop information.

Workshop outcomes:

A helpful framework clarifying how type enables and disables teamwork
Effective team building and type exercises
Case examples showing MBTI designs and results
Exploration of type and consulting issues
Direct experiences of the impact of type on teams
Opportunities for type-related feedback from peers and instructors

Tuition includes:

A notebook of program materials
Document of completion

Prior Knowledge and Experience:

It is necessary for participants in this workshop to have a basic understanding of the MBTI® instrument and type dynamics. It is assumed that they will have a working knowledge of the dominant, auxiliary, tertiary, and inferior functions. Participants should be qualified to purchase restricted MBTI materials, and have had formalized MBTI training or the equivalent in experience. Participants should recognize the difference in type and trait instruments and know that the MBTI instrument sorts rather than measures.
