Microsoft: Boosting Remote team performance
- February 18, 2024
Miki’s island experiential learning program was exactly aligned to our needs to bring the regional team together and create an inclusive and connective tissue between colleagues we have not met for months outside of work meetings. It is a very immersive and energizing program that allowed our team to practice key learnings of high performing teams, inclusive collaboration and agile decision making all for performance improvement back at work!

The Challenge
After more than a year working remotely due to the pandemic, the Microsoft team found itself with key challenges to overcome to ensure a successful year and sustain its high performance!
This included:
- Missing human relationship between team members
- New team members that did not know the bigger team
- Lower team engagement and motivation from employees
- Vision and strategic priorities for 2021 to be reinforced
The Breakthrough: How did Miki island Help?
By going through Miki island, participants were allowed to have fun and engage in a psychologically safe environment that reflected their key real-world challenges.
Not only did Miki Island allowed them to create an inclusive and connective tissue between colleagues and reinforced team bonding, it was also a great way to practice and learn the key behaviours of success to win in the new business year:
- Collaborate effectively in a remote world
- Develop an agile mindset for speed of decision making
- Play to win mentality to gain market share and remain leader in their industry
- Break down silos ways of working
The Outcome: Business Impact
