Outbound Program on Building Better Team Work
Duration -TWO (2) DAYS

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Team building is facilitated by sharing and collaborating experiences and work space.

Outbound programs are powerful tool for learning because it allows participants to review and test their paradigms and behavior pattern in a non-threatening environment – by providing challenge as well as fun.

Insufficient opportunity to test and review these may leave people with a ‘high-and-dry’ feeling. It is critical therefore to capture these feeling and allow them to sink-in, while the experience lasts.

Outbound Program on Building Better Team Work provides a Safe Environment to test out new ideas and concepts with focus on how to work together as a team.

With our team events we build loads of play and fun to illustrate the crucial nature of building teamwork and communication in the business environment.

PROGRAM METHODOLOGY
The Outbound Program on Building Better Team Work will follow an experiential route for active learning.
• The participants will be put through activities that are designed to Highlight Key Issues explained.
• At the end of the each activity, Key Learning Outcome will be reinforced during de-briefing by teams and the Facilitator(s).
Active learning accrues through deft handling of activities coupled with expert de-briefing.

The activities help participants look at self and their team abilities, related mental models and paradigms. There are several activities and variations that are used during the two-days depending upon:
