Gold of the Desert Kings™

Gold of the Desert Kings™ addresses the issue of effort versus results achieved.

This is a fun, fast paced competitive team exercise. Using a virtual desert journey as the setting, participants work in competing teams of four or five team members. They face circumstances with limited time and resources and must work with their team to achieve as much gold as possible by the end of the experience.

The challenges experienced in Gold of the Desert Kings™ are similar to those experienced in a hectic work schedule. Participants contend with deadlines, environmental conditions, decision making, risk management a perceived lack of resources, others' point of view and the pressure to accomplish objectives.

At the end of the experience we compare the results achieved by each team and the time it took to achieve those results, linking the analogies from the activity back to the real work place. The debriefing will be tailored to the objectives you wish to achieve.

Use Gold of the Desert Kings™ to:

Emphasise the impact lack of planning and time management has on results
Highlight the need for obtaining as much information as possible
Stress the importance of risk management, anticipating and adapting to changing circumstances
Increase the focus on outcomes
Prove the difference (in results) between teams who work to maximise results, versus those who work to "survive"

Details:

Group size: 15 to 500

Time Required: 4 hours

Level: Ideal for sales teams and management.
Is also effective for all levels and mixed groups with the above objectives to be accomplished.

Venue: Can be conducted indoors or outdoors, if power cables and shade are available.
For a "wow" experience it can also be conducted in the desert at a camp facility.

Gold of the Desert Kings™ - "Apply It!™" Session

This 2 hour post program session takes the learning and revelations and forces them down to the day to day level. Participants use a practical model for applying the learning. Using a large work mat that participants personalize, the Gold of the Desert Kings Apply It! session teaches participants a three step process that can be applied at the start of every new project at work and reflected upon as each project progresses. Participants identify the characteristics of a "9 Bars of Gold" outcome, and learn to develop and execute on goals that reflect this "What's Possible?" mindset.

By the end of the session, participants will have had ample practice applying the model and a clear conviction for using it on the fly in day to day situations.
