Set on a deserted island, Lost! also looks at how individuals in a team interact during decision-making. Although a team may not encounter life and death situations like being stranded on an island, there will be times when it must make important or critical decisions, when the time frame is too short and the available resources are inadequate.

SNAP! – Indoor Activity Series

The essence of the epitome of teamwork is trust. In this activity, team members will be introduced to real mousetraps which will serve as a representation of their fears. As with all of our fears, they are mere figments of our unnecessary imagination. Team members will conquer these ‘fears’ as a team as they leverage on each other for encouragement and support.

DIAMOND VISION – Indoor Activity Series

Building towards a shared vision is every employee’s responsibility. In Part 1, let us witness the consequences to a “shared vision”, in the form of a 3-D structure, due a single team member’s “misalignment”. Every member contributes in a unique manner that may seem insignificant, but without even the smallest of contribution, the final goal may be compromised.

In Part 2 of the challenge, we shall investigate the nuances of Integrity. Through the simple act of passing members through a constructed structure, we can tell whether a team chooses to succeed regardless of strict “policies”, or decides to uphold integrity and honesty whilst meeting their objectives.

PROJECT STREAMLINE – Themed Activity Series

In his monumental book, The Fifth Discipline, author and management guru, Peter Senge, espoused the group problem-solving concept and practice of systems thinking to convert companies into learning organisations.

Essentially, Senge’s management strategies encourage companies to see themselves as a system, or as part of a system, where its constituent parts interrelate and interact with each other, which results in positive or undesirable employee behaviours.

THE TEAM MURAL – Themed Activity Series

Have you seen the Mona Lisa? What if an entire team can be inspired to create an artistic masterpiece that is befitting of their spirit and culture? In this challenge, everyone will be split into smaller teams. Each group will then be responsible for a specific ‘zone’ of a giant team mural that is pre-designed for the client.

Ultimately, the participants will be required to paint and decorate their ‘mural parts’ with little knowledge that these segments make up a bigger whole. Other surprises await that help create a dynamic, boisterous atmosphere where teams are required to move about relentlessly and interact with other teams. Such a setup encourages teamwork across departments and urges the teams to negotiate with each other through open and timely communication.

This interactive and engaging activity requires teamwork, an acceptance of ideas and brainstorming.

Team CSI is a proven learning and training experience that allows participants to partake in a responsive, realistic “murder investigation” while playing roles as part of a law enforcement team.

Investigators give the prosecutors what they require to achieve a conviction by establishing motives, means and opportunity, through teamwork, communication and collaboration. Complete with victims, suspects, clues and all the rigours of police work, the CSI experience allows the “investigators” to experience their roles in an interactive, non-threatening way by relating an otherwise different discipline to their own workplace, while at the same time gaining clarity and understanding towards a desired result.Teams will experience similar challenges here as they do in the workplace. But let’s witness them overcome these obstacles one at a time. So is your team ready for a brain-cracking experience?

THE SMARTPHONE RACE – Themed Activity Series

Armed with a smartphone, each team will be required to complete a number of tasks as directed by a trail-based mobile app. Using state-of-the-art technology, teams will be relying on their smartphone to locate the different challenge stations and attempt them.
