Another Pleased Client
We recently employed Anne Thornley-Brown for a weekend team-building event in Dubai (27-28 January 2007).
The purpose of our retreat was to achieve a number of objectives:
1. Understand some of the barriers to successful team communication.
2. Realise the different styles each of us employed in our daily work.
3. Develop quicker and more focused tools for brainstorming.
4. Identify techniques to realising and then managing obstacles.
5. Think about current business issues and develop plans to work them through.
6. Have some fun!
The above were all achieved during the weekend through a combination of business exercises and fun activities. Anne managed to keep us all focussed and alert throughout the two days, as well as joining in a lot of the activities.
All of the events were well developed & managed. We had a great time and took away a number of good learnings.
I have no hesitations in recommending Executive Oasis International to any interested companies.

Desert Survival Simulation
|
It was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime for you and your team....a wild ride up and down the sand dunes followed by a relaxing camel trek and camping out overnight under the stars in the Dubai Desert....but, you couldn’t resist going for it. A mad, roller coaster race on the sand dunes, laughter, a sense of exhilaration...and you're out of gas and LOST.
|

You're separated from your Bedouin guides and the rest of your party. You're not too worried. Your guides told you that, if you got lost, they’d send a search party to find you.
You have enough food for lunch but that's it. You've lost your money, your identification, your passports and your airline tickets. All you have is your jeeps (that are now out of gas), the clothing on your back and the one “luxury” item you managed to sneak into your gear. You're stranded in the Dubai desert, struggling to get back to civilization.
To get home, you have to design a strategy to raise the money for your airfare and to replace the supplies you've lost. The only way to survive is to take stock of your situation, make your plans and take action!
You and your team will have to work together to forage for food, identify a product that you can manufacture in the desert to raise money, and design a marketing strategy that you can implement upon rescue.Whenever you hear the sound of the ram’s horn, you’ll meet at the oasis to compete with the other team for valuable prizes and resources.
You construct a makeshift shelter, pull out the Desert Survival package that your Bedouin guides gave you, and toss around some ideas. You begin to develop your strategy using mind maps, storyboards, flow charts, and force field analysis.
You eventually pump enough oil in the desert to get your vehicles going for again for a short distance. You take advantage of this opportunity to hunt for a camel to prepare for dinner. Using GPS tracking equipment and compass and map, you eventually stumble across a golden camel buried in the sand. You trade the camel for a ride from some local camel herders.
You approach a Bedouin settlement at sunset. It's a truly magical experience.
After the camel herders tell the Bedouin about your plight, they extend their hospitality to you for a night. In gratitude, you water their camels and help them prepare a feast under the stars.
After dinner, your hosts entertain you around the campfire with belly dancing, shisha and, for the ladies, henna. You finally begin to relax.
The next morning, you and your team prepare some breakfast. After you do some brainstorming, you discover that you can apply what you are learning in the desert to your own business.
Your hosts tell you about a lagoon where you can build a raft and paddle back to civilization (or a mountain passage that will lead you back to Dubai.) Feeling that you can no longer trespass on the hospitality of your hosts, you thank them and get their assistance in pumping some fuel for your short journey. They promise to send word via camel caravan to your guides who are from a neighbouring tribe. You follow the directions given by the Bedouin at the camp and you are rescued (at the lagoon or in the mountains). When you get back to Dubai, you relax and celebrate with a truly magical night cruise on the Dubai creek.
