Because our team of management professionals have experience in the business and consulting environment and not just the bush , we can fully integrate and align your adventure based learning program with your training and organisational goals. Whether the issue is team building, sales training, merger or acquisition management, downsizing programs, or just an exciting reward for your best performers we can tailor a program to meet these objectives. We can even build exercises designed to assist in the evaluation of stress or situational responses in management candidates as required. Our programs are designed on a one off basis to support and reinforce your strategic objectives. Early adventure based learning programs were very much a colour by numbers affair, with set programs that may or may not deliver the learning outcomes desired.
Outland recognises that every organisation is different and has different development needs.
The experience of our training team, and their real world experience in a wide range of public and private sector organisations, gives us unparalleled ability to customise a program to your needs. A simulation that we commonly use for developing healthy team dynamics or to facilitate the introduction of self managed teams is the mountain survival situation. This is a scenario game simulating a group response to a light plane crash over the Blue Mountains. The pilot has been knocked unconscious and the survivors must formulate a plan and organise the group to execute it with the materials salvaged from the wreck. This situation first involves an individual and team planning response to the situation, allowing the facilitator to draw out and make explicit personality types, responses and group synergies in both the individual and the group response modes.
