Facilitation
Your facilitator will take you through a 1/2 day pre-briefing to ensure that the between the oil rig hunt and the daily challenges your team faces are clear. After the oil hunt, your facilitator will debrief the experience with your team to glean key insights that team members can take back to work and use immediately.
Logistics
The initial 1/2 day briefing can be conducted at a hotel or at your office. One meal must be taken in the desert. You have the option of relaxing over lunch in the desert or a sultan’s feast under the stars. All teams will relax during a sunset picnic on the dunes. If you like, we can arrange a camel safari to take you back to the Bedouin camp for your final celebration.
