The problem it solves
Many companies struggle with team cohesion and employee morale. This service addresses the need for effective team building and leadership development in a fun, engaging manner.
How it makes money
The business could charge companies per workshop or offer a subscription service for ongoing team development programs.
Skills you need
Skills required would include facilitation and coaching, team dynamics knowledge, event planning, and marketing.
The market, and why this works now
Increased remote work has created a demand for team cohesion solutions that can be delivered online. Hosting workshops on platforms like Zoom allows for interactive activities that engage participants from various locations. A concrete first-revenue move is to promote workshops through LinkedIn groups focused on HR professionals, enabling direct access to companies seeking team-building solutions. A potential constraint is the initial capital required for high-quality facilitation and marketing efforts, which could extend the payback period before achieving profitability.
