2. 2THE AVOCA GROUP - CUSTOMIZED TEAM BUILDING PROGRAM
DISC is an investment in understanding and managing differences and
establishing respect, teamwork, and trust in order to create an environment
where all team members can thrive.
Adapted specifically for the clinical outsourcing industry, the program
enables teams to develop a strong rapport that will enable them to be
more productive.
Attendees identify their communication style, recognize those of
colleagues, and learn how to most effectively communicate with their team
and partners. Participants learn strategies for how to get the most out of
their native strengths and improve relationships at every level.

83% of those who scored high on self-awareness were also rated as
top performers. Those who understand their strengths and weaknesses
are more likely to be successful.
“We have to work in global teams and extensively with external parties---with CROs and clinical
sites. We have a fairly flat structure, so we originally brought Team Builders Plus in to do some training
in developing management and leadership skills with accountability, although we have since then
conducted multiple training programs with them. We worked with their team to develop what we
wanted the content of the training to center around. They were very easy to work with and were a
good fit with our culture. The session is fun and engaging for participants, and what makes it stick is
that people are able to connect with the speaker, and they are able to connect to the training on an
individual basis.”
