The Brief
Our Oil & Gas client were awarded a contract which is to last for several years, therefore they felt it would be opportune for individuals from both companies to have a two day meeting for both parties to understand how they can communicate in the most efficient way whilst at the same time having some fun together.
Communication by both parties has been mainly by email and when working with different nationalities, these emails can be misconstrued.
Our Response
Accommodation was arranged at Orchardleigh House, near Frome in Somerset. The company took the venue over exclusively and the delegates met on the first day for refreshments prior to taking part in a full day of strategic teambuilding.
We partnered with an innovative teambuilding company and for this event they wrote a bespoke programme that looked at ways of overcoming communication difficulties.
All the delegates joined together for drinks after the day to talk about the different activities they had partaken in.
Following an excellent dinner, everyone took part in a Race Night which was projected onto a large screen with real footage of a variety of UK horse races, picket fencing, theming, MC and jockey themed bookies. They were all given personalised “fun money” and there were prizes for the winning team.
Day Two
Following breakfast, the delegates took part in a lighter team building session…
Team Machine
The tendency for teams to work in silos and lose sight of the bigger picture was the stimulus for the creation of this colourful large scale team building activity. The secret to succeeding at Team Machine is collaboration and open communication, every team gets there in the end, although not as easily as you might expect.This
Following lunch, delegates departed and felt that we had provided a winning combination of intellectual stimulation and fun engagement, living out an ethos of ‘Teams that Play Together, Work Together’.
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for the professional way you and the team ran the team building last week, I received a lot of positive feedback and hopefully it will enhance the relation between us and the client.
I look forward to holding more events in the future.
