‘Like a dolphin, all high performing teams communicate, support and trust each other implicitly and display great intelligence and make life fun!’

A great team idea can shift a mundane business meeting into a beneficial event. Outdoor Active Getaways exellcent team building programmes will challenge people to explore creative solutions, practice and improve working as a team – in a fun spirited atmosphere.

Teambuilding means a host of different things depending upon who you ask, some think that it is used to get acquainted, others think it should build trust, improve communication, bonding or learning how to solve problems as a group. Everyone agrees that there is an element of fun because teambuilding uses interactive games and adventures. A good teambuilding exercise creates positive interaction among a group of people, and in doing so enhances their ability to work effectively as a team when they return to the workplace. At Outdoor Active Getaways we excel in designing fun activities that utilise key skills, risk-taking, leadership, empowerment, clear communication, collaboration, trust, leadership, encouragement and support. These are exercises that anyone can participate in without fear of physical harm or looking embrassed to one’s associates. The facilitators ask and encourage people to stretch their mental capabilities and to embrace teamwork.

Many teambuilding companies are simply recreation hosts who know how to play games, but do not understand business. It seems that ‘teambuilding’ has become a buzz word for all kinds of service providers. Effective teambuilding must be delivered by a company with training expertise. The hard part in any teambuilding program is delivery (facilitating). It is surprising how many teambuilding companies simply do not facilitate (or debrief) the activities. Good teambuilding companies will have developed philosophy on how to debrief; our strategy will make sense once it is shared with the team.

If a team are reluctant to go to a teambuilding programme it is probably because the team have been subjected to ‘fun n’ games activities with little or no business applications. The MOST important transaction that can happen during a teambuilding event is for the team to solve real world business problems. That is ultimately what your company is looking for and what your company will receive from Outdoor Active Getaways.

One call does it all; from our free venue finding service with no management fees. Outdoor Active Getaways will match the venue to your event and location from accommodation, conferencing, fun games and activities. We will also suggest the appropriate event to meet your budget and team requirements.
