Team Challenge:
This initial experience gives each participant an opportunity to build upon success as they progress through a series of activities with each new challenge requiring a greater degree of trust and cooperation.  The entire group first interacts in simple warm-ups and "ice breakers".  The group then divides into smaller teams as they attempt increasingly more challenging and complex activities which require appropriate risk-taking, and encourage creativity and planning.  The group comes back together for the final events where communications is critical for effective problem-solving.  The day is highlighted by completion of the Ropes Course events.

Leadership Trek:
Participants are asked to complete a "leadership styles" inventory prior to the trek.  The instrument is discussed and results are reviewed in the opening workshop.  The participants are then grouped into small teams as they journey through an elaborate course of natural obstacles and props.  Team-member roles and responsibilities rotate as each new challenge is encountered.  Such requirements as time management, problem solving, decision making, and the necessity of utilizing the resources within the team emerge as each team member develops their leadership potential.  Individuals learn to call on other members in their group for support in taking appropriate risks.  Communication is enhanced through awareness of individual leadership orientation, and the strengths and weakness of the team.

Technology Transfer Workshop:
The entire group is brought back together for a final workshop which includes processing of the outcomes and a discussion of their direct application within their work groups.  During this concluding workshop, time is given to each work group to plan and present a sample action plan, drawing upon the task/maintenance management model, and applying the appropriate technology.  The planning process of each work group is videotaped as are their presentations.  A seminar reference manual is included to assist in the transference process.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
Communication and alignment between team goals and company mission will facilitate decision-making to establish project milestones, and maintain high productivity.  Balanced participation and commitment between individuals increases task performance.
