Overview
Overview
An innovative corporate team building exercise, EdgeWork increases the capacity of individuals and teams to perform in cross-organizational and cross-functional contexts. As its name suggests, EdgeWork explores how those on the edges of organizations can better build working relationships with their counterparts in other organizations, given their respective goals, conflicts, and interdependencies.

- Session One: Divisional Meetings
- Session Two: Cross-Company Special Issue Meetings
- Session Three: Company-Wide Meetings
- Session Four: Presentation of Company Reports
- Debrief
Outcomes:
