Mission

The mission of Teampedia is to become the world's largest collection of resources (e.g. warmups, icebreakers, and other group facilitation and training activities) to facilitate teamwork, teambuilding, and community.

Goals

  • To collaboratively develop, share and archive teambuilding resources
  • To value every contributor's unique and individual contributions
  • To bring team leaders, team members, consultants, and facilitators together in a vibrant online community
  • To help prevent team leaders from "re-inventing the wheel" every time they want to do a teambuilding activity
  • To generate enough revenue for this website to be self-sustaining (including hosting and development costs)
  • To respect copyright and intellectual property rights
  • To combine the power of teamwork and technology to generate and refine collective knowledge
  • To support those working to promote deeper understanding, improve communication, increase enjoyment, build trust, resolve conflicts, and generally create more efficient, fun, effective, creative, harmonious, inclusive, collaborative, and enjoyable relationships
