*MISSION IMPROBABLE
"Your task - should you choose to accept it (and, of course, you dare not refuse!) - is to locate and defuse the Doomsday Device. The nature and complexities of this device will become apparent as the task progresses - suffice it to say that failure is not an option. In order to succeed, it will be necessary to locate some items of equipment and gather some complex information, all of which are vital to the defusing process. This can only be done by completing a series of tasks."
"Due to the possibility of interference by unfriendly outside agencies, we consider it prudent that you divide into groups. Because the tasks may only be attempted during certain time windows, it will be necessary for you to negotiate in order to decide who goes where and when. The future is in your hands!"
Mission Improbable is a popular and innovative team building event that really gets people working together as a team. It revolves around a complex cerebral task, success at which can only be achieved via a heady combination of thorough planning, good project management, efficient problem solving, excellent communication and effective negotiation. The learning is highly experiential and relevant to work - and on top of all this, it is great fun!
This team building event is designed in such a way that in order to succeed there must be effective communication both within and between different project groups, the membership of which changes as the exercise progresses. The task is highly representative of the work environment, and the learning, which is closely monitored by facilitators, can easily be related to the "real world". All members of the team are kept involved throughout the day, and the finale, which involves the destruction of part of the device using theatrical pyrotechnics, makes the learning even more memorable.
Because of the nature of the device and the very loud "bang" during the finale, we prefer not to run this task from inner city locations!
