- Identify untapped markets for your products and services.
- Harness your team’s creative genius to resolve business issues.
- Forge stronger links between geographically dispersed teams.
The Storyline
It was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime – you hike (canoe or ride your horses) to the heart of the American Wilderness. But, you just couldn’t resist going for it. A wild race, a fast gallop, lots of laughs – and suddenly you’re separated from your guides and the rest of your party.
You’ve lost your money, your identification, your passports, and your airline tickets. You have enough food to last a for 3 days. All you have are your horses, tack, the clothes on your backs, your survival packs, and the one “luxury” item you managed to sneak inside your gear.
You’re not too worried. Your Native American guides told you they’d send out a search party. In the meantime, you must come up with a plan. Your guides will help you implement it and get the word out when you are rescued.
The next morning, you pull out the Wilderness Survival package. You begin to develop your strategy using idea chains, storyboards, flow charts, and force field analysis. You’ll identify a product that you can manufacture in the wilderness to raise money, and design a marketing strategy that you can implement upon rescue.
Facilitation
Your facilitator will take you through a pre-briefing to ensure that the links between Wilderness Survival USA and the challenges your team faces are clear. Your facilitator will debrief the experience with your team to identify insights, tools and strategies that your team can take back to work and use immediately.
