the dunbar team
Named after the anthropologist Robin Dunbar, the Dunbar number describes the theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom an individual can maintain social relationships. He discovered that businesses with up to 150 employees can manage with few hierarchical structures, as people know each other and can communicate directly. This number of people no longer make an efficient team, of course – but a company with a common identity.

Evaluation
At the request of our clients, we conduct an ongoing evaluation process. Using a standardized questionnaire, participants have the opportunity to anonymously reflect on the team drumming event immediately following the session, answering closed-ended questions. Based on the statistically analyzed data, we create a report that focuses on the impulses relevant to social competence development that were effective during the rhythmic intervention.
