Backpack Team Challenge Workshop
Is your team looking for a unique 1/2 day team building activity?
Groove Management offers a unique team building workshop that will help your team to explore collaboration versus competition in a fun and highly engaging activity.
During the workshop your team will be broken into sub-teams and given the task making certain that each team’s backpack is filled with the exact same items and in the same quantity. The backpacks contain school supplies, but in different quantities and there are some backpacks with certain items while others don’t have those items. Teams quickly realize that to be successful, they will need to share resources. The first step if for each team to inventory their items and then to begin to coordinate with the other teams to trade items. There are several ways to solve this challenge, but all rely on clear communication, leadership, a game plan and execution. With 20 teams it is easy for this to turn into chaos and for teams to be territorial about their items.
Once the time is up, we conduct an audit of the backpacks to make certain that the contain uniform items and in the right quantities. Next we dissect the process and discuss how the teams competed and collaborated. There are lessons to be learned that can be applied to other tasks the team faces at work. We discuss execution, quality, team work, communications, conflict and other topics that arise as a result of the activity.
The final and most impactful portion of the program occurs at the end when we discuss the fact that the teams assembled these backpacks without regard for their customer. We then introduce the team to their customers.
The customers are local children from an area charity who will be given the backpacks. Each team is introduced to their recipient and gets to present the child with the backpacks.
We can custom order the backpacks and water bottles to include your company logo as part of the pre-planning for this activity.
