"I would like to thank all of your staff for putting on a fabulous event! It was well received and tied in appropriately with the theme of the day. I would also like to thank you for recommending Tom Dent, who did an exceptional job facilitating our day and meeting the needs of the team. I enjoyed how the event engaged the group from beginning to end, well done. I also appreciated the lack of need for involvement (as an organizer) on my part. The set up and execution of the event was cleverly done and very professional. You have already been recommended and I will continue to speak highly of our experience with you."

In this highly entertaining and engaging event, participants divide into teams and then have the opportunity to build a real boat constructed from cardboard. This boat will be built and then evaluated in a number of areas including presentation, design, USP/marketing, cohesiveness and finally, functionality.
This means that each team will be putting at least one member into the boat to compete on the water in a navigational challenge. Winning the boat race will not guarantee the overall win, but it will be a big factor.

During the course of the event, teams will have to deal with several curve balls that are not uncommon in the real world, new requirements, staff changes, etc.
At each stage teams will have the opportunity to change roles so that everyone in the group has a chance to be project lead. At the end of the building process, teams will put together a group presentation that will highlight their accomplishments and ‘sell’ their boat to the client.
Then, the actual boat race begins. You'll be amazed at what can actually float and make it to the finish line. For those who don't make it, it's literally sink or swim (lifejackets will be provided).
Finally, there will be an awards presentation where the coveted Cardboard Shipwright Contract will also be given to the winning team.
This is a very popular fun event - and one with take-away lessons will benefit your business for a long time into the future.
“Thanks to you and your team for such a fun, well organized event. We really appreciated the professionalism and the organization of your team. The event went perfectly and there were no hiccups. The event was well structured to accommodate both a fun day and a sense of competition (our group is very competitive). I've had lots of comments back from the participants informing me that they had a lot of fun. I think this event was exactly what we needed, to have some friendly competition and some time away from the office.”
