Bridge Game is an Experiential
Learning
Tool |
|
It’s a stand-alone mini project providing you with
a fun-filled experiential learning platform that
features many of the attributes and challenges found in any real-life
project or business venture.
It’s a highly interactive and
quickly engaging hands-on work simulation. Up to 5 teams compete to
build a bridge while coping with changing customer demands and a range
of internal problems.
It requires ongoing fine-tuning
of the process to deal with multiple changes and surprises throughout
the exercise.

|
It’s a powerful team
builder, clearly demonstrating to all participants the
benefits of team work versus individual strong achievers with personal
agendas.

The methodology used is not
industry or job specific. It works well in any and every situation
where you are depending on your people working together as a seamless
operation toward one common goal. It builds the Team Synergy you need
for the big assignments that lie ahead …, whatever those may be.
