What does the activity look like?

The participants are divided into small teams, randomly selected or predetermined, and listen to the challenge story. In order to reach the desired achievement, they prepare to execute a sophisticated set of tasks. Here we go. The clock is ticking. They are working at full power.

What happens after the game?

Once the game is over, we will guide a discussion about the "traps" teams and the group as a whole fell into, team and group successes, and (most importantly) how those experiences relate to similar situations in the real life.

Central to this discussion are the following ideas:

Accountability-initiating solutions rather than responding, moving things forward, taking responsibility for tasks, etc.

Big picture mentality- perform in a multi tasking environment, long term vs short term mentality.

 Collaboration—managing partnerships, cooperation, influencing without authority, coming on board.
