Outbound Management Development Programmes

What is Corporate Outbound Training?

Corporate Outbound Training entails use of soft adventure activities and management games to develop various themes such as leadership skills, conflict management, communication and teamwork in a group of people.

This training programme aims to take executives, out of the comfort zone of their normal office environment that is out of doors to participate in some specially designed outdoor exercises and management games. These exercises are in turn reviewed and integrated to the corporate environment through 'class-room' sessions by leading professional management and HR consultants / facilitators.

All our programmes are run under a strict safety code of conduct and the adventure activities/ games are custom designed in accordance to the fitness level of participants.

The areas of emphasis of management games include:

Our programmes are tailor made and are flexible to suit your needs.

How does Corporate Outbound Training work?

Outdoor training is a proven and effective method to train and develop staff, irrespective of their level and responsibilities within organisations. Outdoor methods differ from standard training strategies in several important ways:

• Outdoor training task is a direct and clear means by which group interaction is assessed and developed.

• The impact of decisions and action participants take is immediate and directly relates to the success of the team.

• When out of doors, the familiar influences and the 'support culture' within the workplace are removed and the participants are able to concentrate on the activity and the training. By removing of the daily work environment, the explicit aim of the method is to provide an effective, enjoyable and challenging experience.

The design of each exercise has been developed keeping in mind specific learning objectives. 'Learning' by participants will be ensured through the post-exercise 'review' or 'evaluation' of the 'process' and 'behaviour' demonstrated by the participants while going through the exercise (s). The review will be conducted by a qualified trainer at the end of each exercise and will be done either by the participants responding to a questionnaire, by small group discussions or through a syndicate approach.

Each of the exercise is meant to provide the participants with a certain amount of self - discovery and self-understanding and introspection with its attendant outcome of self-development. There is also of course the joy and thrill of participating in such outdoor activities which will refresh and rejuvenate the participants, both physically and mentally. In addition, the activities present a challenging environment, which stretches the "normally assumed" capabilities of the participants and helps them break out of their self-imposed 'limitations'.

All these effects become evident by the physical and mental 'high', which the participants exhibit in their work place after they return from the Outdoor Management Development Programme.
