 Do you have concerns about how your company works together?If so, here’s a little exercise that will only take a minute or two of your time. Go ahead, try it. You’ll find it’s time well invested. Write up a short list of the qualities that would make your work group, and your company as a whole, more productive and more effective in the marketplace. Of course, we have no way of knowing in advance what you’ve written down, but we wouldn’t be at all surprised if your thoughts included ideas like “better teamwork,” “better communications,” “leadership,” and “quality decision-making.” Now answer this: What’s the fastest way you and your co-workers could learn or improve on the qualities you’ve listed? Here’s a clue: the fastest way is not by working in the office. That could take years, and you could still have the common problems of miscommunication, interpersonal conflict, lack of trust, and poor self-awareness that stifle the productivity of too many work environments. The answer is refreshingly easy. It’s even fun. For a short while, you’ve got to change the environment and take a fresh, eye-opening new approach to solving complex problems you face every day. The people at Corporate Challenge can show you how. You can improve the quality of your work by working with usThe people at Corporate Challenge are specialists in experience-based education, the proven method of improving the way people work together, quickly and efficiently. One of the beauties of experience-based education is that remarkable results can be achieved in a short time and learning sessions can take place virtually anywhere. Effective programs can be designed for work sites, hotel conference centers, a retreat-type setting, or a wilderness setting. We offer an array of conference sites throughout the southwest, as well as specific domestic and international sites. We can design programs that utilize backpacking, white water rafting, rock climbing, mountaineering, sailing, ropes/challenge courses or we can bring mobile initiative activities to your site. Regardless of the place or activity chosen, there are no limitations on where learning can happen. The point is that it does happen: major companies throughout the world are discovering that experience-based education can be a short cut to major gains in work quality and productivity. Here is a brief description of how an experience-based program works in very general terms: working in small groups, participants are exposed to a carefully planned series of challenges in an environment that is free of the trappings of the work place. The experiences are structured to demand practical solutions rather than theoretical ones. The setting is non-threatening. Mistakes can be made safely, in a way that contributes to the learning experience. After each exercise, our staff leads your group in discussions of how the lessons can be transferred to improve performance at work. When it’s time to improve the quality of your work, it’s time to get out of the office. Learn faster, better and have more fun doing it. We are not talking about “touchy feely” experience. We’re talking about a fresh approach to old problems that can generate positive change in the kinds of skills and attitudes that lead to the achievement of real-world business objectives. Areas such as interpersonal and inter-departmental communication, greater work force retention, a growth in market shares and sales, and quality product development are targeted. These are the kinds of skills and attitudes we’re talking about (maybe the list you create bears some resemblance to ours): |
