We used board games with Mitsubishi. Here's why it worked. 🎲
No fancy corporate exercises. Just games.
Because when people play, they drop the "professional" act — and real dynamics show up fast: how they communicate, decide, lead, support.
We pair that with tools like Belbin, DISC, Big 5, and 5 Behaviours to turn what we observe into insight teams can actually use.
We help companies and government agencies in Singapore run strategy planning and team sessions that combine play with proven assessment tools.

**What does team development data actually look like in Singapore?**

Over the past 6 months, we ran 5 sessions of our Team Excellence Blueprint — combining Wiley's **Everything DiSC** behavioural profiling with Patrick Lencioni's **5 Behaviours of a Cohesive Team** — with 54 professionals across companies and government agencies here in Singapore.

The results were consistent. Every session scored above 4.4 out of 5.0 across all seven programme effectiveness criteria.

But what struck me most wasn't the scores.

It was what participants said they valued most: **trust** and **conflict**.

Not conflict avoidance. *Productive* conflict.

One participant put it best:

*"Embrace the value of conflict, especially in an Asian society. It can set us apart and accelerate progress."*

In Singapore's professional culture, harmony is a default. Speaking up feels risky. Disagreement can feel disrespectful. But Lencioni's model names healthy conflict as a *prerequisite* for high-performing teams — not a symptom of dysfunction.

When combined with Everything DiSC profiling, teams stop wondering *why* their colleagues behave differently under pressure. They understand it. And that changes everything.

Three things we learnt from the data:
👉 Assessment-based learning personalises the insight — people engage differently when the data is *about them*
👉 Smaller cohorts (under 12) allow deeper, more honest conversations
👉 One session is the beginning, not the end — teams need follow-through to embed the culture

If you are an HR or L&D leader thinking about team cohesion, trust, or how to have better conversations at work — I'd love to connect.

Here is our blog post on a robust 5 behaviours program that we concluded for a world class flavouring company. Our evaluation score for this program was high as seen from the results.

Across 5 sessions and 54 participants, our Team Excellence Blueprint using Everything DiSC and the 5 Behaviours of a Cohesive Team consistently scored above ...

Why do so many capable teams still struggle to execute great strategies together?

It’s rarely about skills or effort. More often, it’s about the invisible walls between teams — the silos that slow down collaboration and cloud shared goals.

We’ve seen this firsthand working with many organizations — including the Genome Institute of Singapore, where we’ve partnered on more than three occasions to help teams align, build trust, and move as one.

What we’ve learned is clear:
➡️ Breaking silos isn’t just a “communication” issue — it’s behavioural.
➡️ High-performing teams rely on shared mental models, not just meetings.
➡️ Real ex*****on happens when teams feel safe to challenge, coordinate, and commit together.

We’ve unpacked these insights in our latest article — From Science to Strategy: How High-Performing Teams Break Silos and Execute Together.

If your teams are finding it tough to collaborate across functions, you’re not alone — and it’s something that can be solved with the right framework and mindset.

2025 has been an incredible year for us.

We began our partnership with Wiley and became the authorised distributor for Everything DiSC and The Five Behaviors across Asia Pacific.

From there, we stayed focused on what matters most: quietly delivering work that creates real impact—helping leaders and teams build trust, strengthen collaboration, and elevate performance using tools that carry gravitas and lasting value.

I’m deeply grateful to receive this recognition from Wiley—Topaz Winner (2025). Thank you to our clients and partners for the trust, and to our team for the commitment behind the scenes.

🌟 Building Cohesive Teams with The Five Behaviours and Everything DiSC 🌟

We recently concluded a *Team Excellence Blueprint* programme using **Wiley’s 5 Behaviours** and **Everything DiSC**, and the feedback from participants was incredibly heartening.

💬 **Evaluation Highlights:**

* 4.7 / 5 overall programme effectiveness
* 4.8 / 5 for facilitator preparedness and responsiveness
* 4.6 / 5 for engaging learning activities and practical application

Participants shared that they valued:

> “Understanding my DISC workplace profile and adapting for workplace effectiveness.”
> “Learning how 5 Behaviours come together to function as a team.”
> “Interactive, fun and highly engaging sessions.”

At **Teamworkbound**, our goal has always been to move teams from *insight to action* — helping individuals discover their behavioural preferences through DiSC, and strengthening trust, conflict resolution, commitment, accountability, and results through the 5 Behaviours framework.

A big thank you to the participants for their openness and energy throughout the session. 🙌

🎥 We’ve also captured a short highlight video showcasing the journey — from reflection to collaboration in action.

I’ve worked across five very different organisations—each with its own culture “fingerprint.” The common denominator of strong cultures? Safety first.
One famous example: Next Jump publicly committed that people wouldn’t be fired for performance; they’d be coached and developed. When fear subsides, standards can rise: “You’re safe here—now let’s do our best work.”
Culture isn’t a poster; it’s a promise.
What promise does your team make that helps people do the best work of their careers?

Here's where we take on the role of consulting strongly with the Ministries in Singapore. This was work we delivered for Ministry of Law, using Belbin Team roles, prior to their work plan. As a seasoned accredited Belbin practitioner using this tool, since 2008, we delivered this session for a Team of senior civil servants. We revamped and redesigned our curriculum for this batch, to ensure the curriculum and delivery of this program STUCK. And it did. For use of a robust testing tool such as Belbin, Wiley DISC, 5 behaviours and even Big 5, do get in touch with us.

🚀 Culture starts at the top.

In today’s hybrid, fast-paced workspaces, leaders no longer just influence culture — they drive it.

In my latest blog post, I dive into how leadership behaviours shape workplace culture, and why it's not HR alone that determines how teams thrive — it’s the everyday choices leaders make.

✔️ What behaviours set the tone for your team?
✔️ Are your values visible in your daily actions?
✔️ How can you move from passive management to active culture-building?

Whether you're leading a department, a classroom, or a company, your example sets the standard.

🧭 Read more about how leaders can activate culture in their teams — and why it matters more than ever.
