no pressure…

Tom had been tasked by an L&D team with a rather urgent request.

The challenge was to design a one day team day in just 5 weeks for 60 business analysts. The team day had to be like no other they had experienced and the sponsor wanted a strong focus on the ‘human side’ of being an analyst. The event was also to be a surprise, no instructions, no clues, no pre work!

Tom worked closely with the key ‘stealth’ sponsors, in understanding the key outcomes and drivers. So what would bridge techies with soft skills? - the Crystal Maze!! A combination of problem solving, team work, learning and fun.

Tom used the TV show format to design and deliver 10 bite size subjects all designed around well-being, human behaviours and motivation. Topics included self branding, dealing with conflict, building internal confidence, making and refusing requests to name but a few.  The venue chosen was a well known sports ground, just to add flavour!

The event was designed so all delegates chose their topic tickets at our revolving reception (of which 8 of the 10 were repeated) allowing for individuals to choose their ‘own day road map’. Our experts delivered various bite size knowledge energisers in learning adventure rooms, with teams made to collect golden tickets throughout the day in order to win.

4 rooms, 4 trainers, 10 interventions, motivational videos combined with energy, excitement and intrigue. An amazing event!!
