“The Amazing Race event was definitely well organized and had a good variety to keep it exciting for locals as well as ‘out-of-towners’. The overall work dynamic for me (being in Toronto) has improved dramatically as a result of this event. I now have a better working relationship with my counterparts in the Seattle office. Multiple people sent me emails and told me how great the event was and how it was one of the best team building events they had ever attended (always a great thing!!!) I do believe we received value for money, I know that a lot of planning goes into these events. I will certainly help with spreading the word about your great organization! It was definitely a great event!” Expedia
The Winning Project Management program is an active and engaging learning event where participants divide into teams and then have the opportunity to build a real boat constructed from cardboard. This boat will be built and then evaluated in a number of areas including presentation, design, USP/marketing, cohesiveness and finally, functionality.
This means that each team will be putting at least one member into the boat to compete on the water in a navigational challenge. Winning the boat race will not guarantee the overall win, but it will be a big factor.
Among the various stages of the challenge, we will review and practice concepts like:
Use Proper Requirement Analysis
Crucial Resource Management
Process and Methodologies
Why Knowledge Management Works
Budgeting for Success
Planning to Win
Smooth Client Communication
Real Team Building
During the course of the event, teams will have to deal with several curve balls that are not uncommon in the real world, new requirements, staff changes, etc.
At each stage teams will have the opportunity to change roles so that everyone in the group has a chance to be project lead. At the end of the building process, teams will put together a group presentation that will highlight their accomplishments and ‘sell’ their boat to the client.
Following the race, there will be a facilitated debriefing session where the events will be dissected according to the concepts that were learned. This review will be invaluable to knowledge retention later. Participants will also have the chance to share what they observed and learned.
Finally, there will be an awards presentation where each team will be recognized for some outstanding element of their project. Of course, the coveted Cardboard Shipwright Contract will also be given to the winning team. Depending on location and available resources, this would also be a time where a very popular slideshow featuring participants from each team and the subsequent contest would be shown.
This is a very popular fun event - and one where the take-away lessons will benefit your business for a long time into the future.
