The groups have to create the best clothes with limited resources and restrictions. Only one team can win the fashion competition, so everyone do their best, aiming for the top prize!

Team Building with Style doesn’t depend on weather, location or physical abilities of participants. Fantastic flexibility of the program allows us to create the unique product for each client and still manage costs. This interactive two-parts program can incorporate pm and evening.

Sounds easy? But what if real task is creating a garment from non-traditional materials, such as recycled materials or items from a grocery store, or using the ‘clothes off their backs’ or designing for a certain person, ie the CEO or senior Mgt team to model? Challenging enough?

Teams also have to include a core value or business theme, or the launch of a brand, in their design.  The participants are given a limited amount of time, from two hours to half of the day. Sometimes groups work independently, although on some challenges contestants must cooperate. Once finished, the designers dress their models and select their hair, make-up, and accessories. Each model walks down the runway, and a panel of judges gives each dress its score.

Teams can present to the audience not only dresses, but their values as well. They definitely get into the spotlight – the press and paparazzi are shooting too. They even give interviews to the judges. Winning and losing designers are chosen based on their scores and other considerations.

The program and concept is created to offer clients a new, interactive and very entertaining unique team program.

This team building event starts by the formation of several different teams depending on the size of your group.  The objective for teams is to find and build a fully operational kids bike.  The problem for them though is that they have no parts…YET! What works well, is that a theme is built in – such as The Apprentice, or a Quality Control aspect, that way teams need to follow a briefing and also adhere to the rules in order to win.

The parts for all of the bikes must be earned through the completion of different challenges, which can be designed to meet any and all of your objectives for your team.  These challenges vary, from a classic race against the clock, or team problems, where teams vs teams are rewarded for their results – the more you win the more info you get. Once all pieces have been collected, the building of the bike can begin.

Once the bikes are completed, a bike mechanic will inspect them and report any defects to the judges.  The team to build their bike to 100% first will be the winner.

Now, here comes the charitable part.  During this whole time, your team is led to believe this is simply a team building exercise; they aren’t informed of the final destination of the bikes that they’re building.  Once all the teams have completed their bikes, though, the children will be brought in, and your teams will each get to give their newly built bikes to a needy child. Teams present their Quality Control inspected bicycles to children in need from a selected children’s charity. eg: Unicef, Make A Wish, Stuart House, Save The Children, Starlight Foundation, Red Kite, Smith Family, Salvation Army, Barnados, Camp Quality or Red Cross…

Outcomes:

• Facilitated Brainstorming
• Planning & Problem Solving
• Communicating effectively as a team
• Collaborate efficiently
• Identifying and utilizing strengths of team members
• Incorporating & developing unique talents, passions, and skills.
• Have teams work together, accomplishing more for the community in which we live.
• Enjoying excellent fun in a worthwhile team building process.
• Timings from 2-4hrs to suit requirements in conference entrees, outdoors or board rooms.

This creates a very powerful experience for your staff, one that they’ll remember, and in turn, will help them to remember all that they learned during this team building event for a long time to come!
