The
Network is a challenging and active team building
event that takes your group away from your event venue.
Or we can simply meet up at a suitable starting point.
The Network is ideal for a team that wants to
have fun but also would like the opportunity to think
about how effectively it communicates and then uses and shares information.
Working in sub-teams, comprising 3 to
5 participants, the objective of The Network
is to exchange and combine information with other sub-teams
in order to locate and open a hidden treasure chest.
After a briefing and planning session, we transport your
team to a starting point - usually a forest or other
attractive area of countryside - with a good network
of footpaths leading off into the great unknown!
While the basic ability to read a map and then orienteer from point to point is required, our quick refresher at the start will ensure that no one gets lost in the forest for too long!
The route to the treasure chest is revealed
by a complex flow diagram known as "The Network".
As well as the treasure chest itself, your teams will need to
locate and recover keys and combination codes to open
the chest, again using The Network as their guide.
Each sub-team is in contact with all others using radio
handsets. After some initial progress, groups usually
begin to encounter difficulties and it should become
apparent that no one group has sufficient information
to make real progress; only by sharing information and
collaborating effectively can the final goal be reached.
A number of team challenges will be encountered at rendezvous
locations. As well as being great fun to overcome, these
exercises require teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Although
The Network is an active and participative event,
the challenge is primarily directed at the team and
team members' ability to work effectively together.
The physical challenge of the event can be adapted to
suit just about all levels. We can (with some prior
notice) build-in roles for participants who want to
be actively involved but in a role requiring little
or no physical activity.
After locating the treasure and claiming the prize,
we can if you wish return to your event venue (or a suitable
pub!) where our event staff can facilitate an informal
review to assist participants in fully understanding
the experience they have been through and identifying
key learning points. We focus on positive aspects of
how the team operates and can move forward.
All equipment is provided including
good quality walking boots and waterproof clothing.
We can provide The Network at many different
locations throughout the UK. Please contact us for details.
