TEAM BUILDING
Client: Global boxing company.
Origin: U.K.
Participants: employees
Number: 60 persons
Location:
Gubbio (near Perugia)
Challenge:
To create a team building where the different teams were put in competition that were articulated in more tasks.
Focus was on the work as a team and capability of organization among the staff (from different departments within the company) where no clear leader would prevail on the individuals capabilities and efforts.
Realization:
-
Participants walked over the park adjacent the hotel where they found all the material they needed for the competition, still in boxes, laid on the ground for each team in a random and uncompleted order (different for each team) with instructions of what were required from them.
-
First they had to un-wrap the goods and divide it in a tidy fashion in separated clusters depending to which final object they belonged to.
-
Using the assembling manual/instructions they had to understand what piece was missing to complete the object.
-
Find the antagonist team that had the required item in surplus and negotiate the handover.
-
Building a garage/box were they would afterword complete the following task
-
Assemble a “go kart”
-
Race with the assembled “go kart” powered by one or more “human engines” on a racetrack drawn out on the park’s grass!
-
Marshals followed each team throughout each session of the game and awarded points according to a pre-settled scoring system.
-
During the gala dinner arranged in a local Castle the chief of the company’s department (with the aid of the marshals) rewarded with a prize the winning team giving his comments on how each team behaved and pointing out where errors were made or where a particularly collaboration gave good results for which the team benefited.
