Look Inside Go Beyond (Unleash Your Potential)

The exponential growth of technologies have led to tremendous changes in the way we live and work. New business models have emerged since then as well as new ways of working. The pandemic has also exacerbated this situation. Some industries as well as jobs have been decimated and skills required have changed. Traditional jobs have been displaced and replaced by automation. In order to survive in today’s business environment, one has to be adaptable to changes. From this perspective, one critical factor that we need to have is a growth mindset i.e. the mindset needed to overcome challenges, to shift their perspective and look at challenges and develop their inherent potential.

Participants are split into teams of 5, with each individual having a unique role. A large part of the game is understanding, and maximizing, the different roles and strengths of team members. 

Achievement Beyond KPIs

The objective of the game is simple – collect the plants and return safely, but enterprising teams will plan their strategy carefully so they outperform simple KPIs, and aim to achieve far greater excellence and results. 

Growth Mindset
Trust and Respect 
Accountability to
Self and Team 
Leadership and
Communication Skills 

4Plantz is a game which constantly throws surprises to its players. As such, players must continuously to adapt and develop quickly to navigate the evolving challenges of the game. 

In a game where participants are pitted against a tight timeline and everyone’s contribution is critical, trust and sincerity become crucial in order to succeed. When teams are transparent in communication, they achieve better results. 

Things. Will. Go. Wrong. The 4Plantz game is designed with crises popping up constantly, and teams have to think on their toes. When a participant has made a mistake, it is then up to them to be accountable to the team, and for the rest of the team to adopt a problem-solving mindset instead of a blame-oriented mentality. 

The entire essence of the simulation game is to foster greater and more empathetic communication between team members. The ability to give and receive feedback gracefully is critical when the teams are racing against a ticking clock.
