What

We know that great teams make great things happen. But the constant challenge of meeting or even exceeding objectives is very demanding for everyone involved. Effective and synergetic teamwork is the possible solution for the same. A highly engaging team activity of building the tallest and the most stable tower of wooden blocks using strings and a manual crane motivating your employees to set their sides higher.

why

The key benefits derieved from this activity are:

• Project management: simulating strategic planning, innovative and creative mindset, working under time pressure

• Team building: communicating effectively, cooperating, being an active listener, maintaining the balance, working with values
• Communication training: communication, facilitating, dealing with different perspectives

How

Employees will be divided into teams. Our trainer places 8 wooden blocks upright on the floor. Each team member picks up one of the ropes that are connected to a crane. The task is to use the crane to build a tower by placing the blocks on top of each other. The participants are not allowed to touch the blocks with their hands or any other part of their bodies. The task appears simple but with each block cut at a different angle and the need for all participants to work together, building the tower starts to get tricky! This task can only be solved by precise planning, good communication and well-organized teamwork.
