About us

At work, we are whole human beings – so much more than just the role we play. We created SmoothTeam to get to know each other better, to act more thoughtfully toward each other, and to learn how to work better as a team.

SmoothTeam is

Research-backed

The impact of SmoothTeam simulations on teams have been a subject of scientific research. Also, most of the simulations and their background factors are based on research.

Fun

Our customer ratings are excellent, and we are evaluated as both useful and fun.

Useful

Our simulations help teams function more effectively within their organizations.

In my youth, I got to be involved in two really great communities. In both, everyone worked for each other unselfishly, without counting their own troubles or pursuing their own interests. If you had to go outside in the rain to do something while the others were by the fireplace, everyone did it without hesitation.

These communities were the Scouts and the Students’ Union. I have been looking for the same kind of community experience ever since. Trust and vulnerability have become the main keywords. That’s exactly what SmoothTeam is all about. We want to help create happier communities. Communities where people trust and value each other, do great things together and have a common goal.
