Innovative Team building and Away days
pixelfountain learning simulations provide an excellent way for teams to work in
a controlled environment on a meaningful exercise. The delegates can investigate
strategies and decision making while working collaboratively towards a common goal.
The learning simulation is removed from the day-to-day working lives of the delegate,
so it allows the delegates to see the world from a different perspective. But, the
exercise still relates to work activities, so the delegates can contextualise the
learning and more easily build upon it back on the job.
When asked what they have taken from the day, delegates typically respond with commitments
to: collaboration (35%), joined-up thinking (35%), improving performance (20%) and
strategic thinking (10%).
Events that Engage
Learning simulations with their high level of engagement, multiplayer format, drama
and competitive element lend themselves to events. They offer something different
to yet another PowerPoint presentation. Multiple workshops can be delivered in the
event (10 workshops in one day is our current record) with the delegates coming back
together in a plenary session.
We can also hold large events where 70-100 delegates have been involved. We ran an
event for Unilever with 200 delegates split into two competing teams in one room!
Induction
Our learning simulations have successfully been used to anchor induction programmes.
They provide an excellent way to allow new staff to network, work together and see
the big picture. They also provide a way to spot talent. We can come in and deliver
a programme alongside you or you can licence our learning simulations.
Facilitating Change
We can also deliver planning and strategy events.
