Who is Bring Two Teams into One for?

This exercise is to help leaders, facilitators, organisational development leaders and others involved in helping teams (or units or divisions) merge into a new team.

How does it help with merging teams?

The exercise is designed to help the teams bring their stories of the past together in a way that recognises the best of what they bring to the future. It is also designed to help them co-create stories of future strength and success and to talk constructive about the challenges of the period of transition. 

Working this way reduces the sense of loss, and helps build a true, combined sense of a new team, allowing both teams to move into the future in a positive and constructive way.
