Team Building Challenges

Team Building

Improved teamwork, communication and co-operation is best achieved through fun rather than adversity.
Militaristic, arduous, boot camp style events have little relevance to today’s modern business structure, organisation and people. There are more relevant approaches, and our speciality is designing them.
Our programmes will achieve your objectives implicitly through the activity itself, or explicitly with the help of expert facilitation.

Over the past decade we have completed thousands of successful team building events for between 10 and 500 people at venues throughout Europe.
Our experience can assist
you to;

• Improve communication
• Develop understanding
• Emphasise listening skills
• Evaluate group dynamics
• Create inter-team bonds
• Spotlight hidden talents
• Highlight the needs of the team, task and individual

Making a Difference - The Charity Challenge

This is a chance for your team to really make a difference. Team leaders randomly select an envelope containing their challenge. Everyone co-
operates to complete altruistic tasks, which benefit charities, hospitals and institutions.
Providing a day out for the underprivileged, refurbishing a common room in a children’s ward, and landscape gardening at a hospice are just some of the tasks aimed at putting something back into society.
At the end of this activity the sense of achievement felt by the participants boosts morale to new heights.

Film-Making

Film-making is enjoyable and utilises an array of skills and talents. Your team will need to appoint a director, scriptwriters, voice-overs, artistes and actors.
The theme for the challenge could be the making of a TV advertisement for your product, an infomercial for bizarre services or even a political broadcast to make a plea to the nation.
Film-making requires
delegation, direction,
communication, planning and action. Filming can be staged anywhere from your own offices to Hollywood Studios.

Business Games

Ideal for reinforcing key
messages at conferences, our games include the total team interaction of Global Commodities and the hi-tech computerised
Network Challenge.
After the game one of our highly motivational speakers, such as Adrian Webster, will carry out an expert de-brief.

Pit Stop Challenge

A dynamic and stimulating challenge that requires your team to design, build and then race a ’super-tech’ vehicle.
Each team is given a budget. This must be used cleverly and creatively to purchase
components from the parts workshop and styling extras from the design workshop.

Chain Reaction

A game consisting of 12 giant contraptions which when connected produce a
mechanical and explosive Chain Reaction.
Stage one requires each team to complete standalone sections. Successful assembly is governed by the team’s
ability to overcome a series of cerebral challenges.

Stage two involves all teams coming together as one major force, completing the
construction and triggering the chain reaction.
Chain Reaction is a `one team’ non-competitive event. All participants have a part to play and ultimately experience
the benefit of successful
co-operation in action.

The Crystal Clear Challenge

Each team is led through a series of zones. A myriad of challenges await, from the weird to the wonderful and friendly to fearsome. The objective is to collect as many precious crystals as possible.
After all zones have been completed all teams gather together. Crystals are exchanged for time periods within the dazzling dome.
The more time you have, the more chance there is to amass the most money. Handicapped by gale force winds, thunderous sounds and dazzling lights, it’s a frenzied finale to a great challenge.
