What participants experience

Participants are placed into a practical challenge where the team's habits become visible. The group has to communicate, plan, organise roles, manage time and make decisions together instead of relying only on individual effort.

Because the activity is facilitated, the experience can be linked back to everyday workplace behaviours such as listening, taking initiative, sharing information, supporting teammates and staying accountable to a shared goal.
