Team building event

TWO Marketing delivered a fully hosted service at Parcelnet's annual management conference. On day 2 the brief was to create a team building exercise.

TWO Marketing put together a 4 hour session where each of the 240 delegates had to work individually and then as part of a team, proving that team work is better than working alone.

The Situation
"It is approximately 2:30 p.m., October 5, and you have just crash-landed in a float plane on the east shore of Laura Lake in the subarctic region of the northern Quebec-Newfoundland border. " Your task is to rank 15 items salvaged from the plane in the order of their importance to your team's survival. Set in an unfamiliar location, this simulation takes the participants outside of their organisational roles and areas of expertise to a situation where only their synergistic problem-solving skills will help them to survive.

You can use the Simulation to....

• Establish a Constructive, team-oriented atmosphere in the workplace, at conferences or workshops, and in classrooms or training programs
• Strengthen members' rational and interpersonal problem-solving skills
• Demonstrate and promote synergy within groups
• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of individual and group decision making
