Day 1:
In an ever-changing business environment, there are unknown elements and challenges are constant. This requires one to be adaptable to changes. When we are confronted with unexpected changes, we must be able to shift our actions to overcome such challenges. This requires agility, quick thinking, organizing skills and leadership. This activity will be timed for purpose of rigor and efficiency. Team effectiveness will be benchmarked. The list of participants must be sourced from client before the program is to be held. In the list, there must be a column which indicates the calling names of the participants. If pre-grouped, name tags will be placed facing downwards on the chairs arranged according to the grouping list. If not pre-grouped, name tags will then be placed facing downwards on chair formation randomly. One or two representatives will be called into the room and given instructions for the rest of the team. The representatives then leave the room and lead the rest of the team to enter the room. The objective is to get everyone seated on the chairs where their name tags are placed, in the shortest possible time. Beware as nothing is ever what they seem.
Learning elements – Accountability, adaptability, clarity, commitment, communication, leadership, organizing skills, ownership, planning, proactivity, responsibility, rigor and team effectiveness.
If there is a will, there is a way. When we are pushed, we can outperform against our perceived capability. Very often, we are boxed in and build barriers around ourselves. When we are challenged, we can use the opportunity to break free from our mental barriers and achieve success which we originally deemed as impossible. Teams are given an object to pass around amongst team members with targeted time. Whenever they achieve results, they are challenged with new demands. When they record the time which to them, is deemed as of utmost possibility, they are challenged yet again to improve on the time until they breakthrough their beliefs about what was originally deemed to be impossible.
Learning elements – Accountability, adaptability, analytical thinking, clarity, collaboration, commitment, communication, creativity, decision making, esprit de corps, focus, leadership, openness, organizing skills, ownership, planning, proactivity, problem solving, rapport / trust, responsibility, rigor, self-awareness and team effectiveness.
Formation of team based on leadership, team name, team values, team flag with their own unique symbol and a haka war cry. Once we have established the formation of team, we can move all teams through the other three major stages of team development ie Storming, Norming and Performing. Every major process following this is designed to specifically draw out important lessons from each stage of the team’s transformation into a high performing team.

This is for different teams coming together to set up a floor structure that eventually merges as a single grid-like structure. Teams have to work together to thoroughly plan and agree on the workable processes. If they proceed with action without prior discussion and planning, this will almost certainly result in onsite deviation. This in turn will create all sorts of complications and misalignments, akin to delivering defects and quality problems. The process demands planning and alignment, where goals of different teams need to converge as one in order to achieve the bigger organisational purpose. Each team needs to cooperate and if necessary, share their resources for a win-win situation. Despite time pressure, work quality is important as to ensure that overall objectives are achieved without compromising other equally important factors. All form and function, including key details, must be met.
Learning elements – Analytical thinking, attention to details, commitment, communication, decision making, integrity, leadership, maximizing potential, organizing skills, presentation skills and resourcefulness.
Intention Walk is an excellent primer or entry activity for context setting. It can also be an energetic introduction to the power of creativity amongst the participants. The value of Intention Walk lies not only in its simplicity but its learning on intention and possibilities. Essentially, participants have to cross between two points using a unique method that has not been demonstrated prior to the individual’s turn. Upon the successful crossing of the points, they continue to challenge their peers to rise to the occasion. A high energy and exciting process, everyone gets involved, many times including stakeholders, facilitators as well as trainers. This is also an excellent process to narrow the gap and create a closer bond not only amongst the participants but also between the participants and the facilitator team. This can be both an indoor or outdoor process.
Learning elements – Adaptability, clarity, commitment, creativity, esprit de corps, integrity, leadership, openness, ownership, presentation skills, proactivity, rapport / trust, resourcefulness, rigor and self awareness.
Teams are required to cross The I-Maze from one end to the other. The path comes with specific obstacles that are designed as breakdown points. Challenging rules are also set to determine compliance. Teams have to work effectively and efficiently to achieve their goals with minimal penalties. The I-Maze demands focus, support and trust. Risk taking is key, when all else fails. Mistakes will occur but we can learn from them. In the absence of any verbal communication, the teams share available information while discovering new information that would allow them to complete the task. This activity requires the full participation of all members of the teams as every member has to walk through the undiscovered path in order to win. Debriefing can be designed to go various levels deep.

Everyone seats in a circle and goes through a series of centering exercises, which include proper breathing techniques. The objective is to clear their minds so that they can bring forward their biggest goals and aspirations. Then, each participant is given an object. On one side of the object, the participant writes down their biggest personal / career goal using bold black permanent markers. The process continues but this time, the participant brings to mind their greatest obstacles and considerations in relation to the said goal and aspiration. The participant writes down this obstacle / consideration down on the other side of the object, using bold red permanent markers. Once everyone has completed this stage of the process, supporting materials are brought in to position the respective objects, with the side that indicates obstacle / consideration facing upwards. Now, participants put into practice their centering abilities and position themselves facing the objects. When they are focused and determined, they proceed to break the object. In doing so, they experience a breakthrough in their limiting fears, obstacles and considerations while staying focused on their goals and aspirations. This is one of the most powerful processes in experiencing personal breakthroughs in results and relationships.
Learning elements – Accountability, clarity, commitment, focus, openness and self-awareness.
