Clear, expert analysis of your team - where they excel and what’s holding them back?
When teams struggle to communicate, decide or use each other's strengths, it's often not the task that's difficult - it's the way they work together. The Island Survival Challenge shines a light on this by placing your team in a fictional desert island scenario where you must choose five items from a list of twelve to "survive."
With only 15 minutes to reach full consensus, the activity reveals how you communicate, influence, listen and collaborate under pressure. By uncovering these dynamics in a fun, low-stakes setting, the challenge helps your team strengthen decision-making, build trust and uncover better ways of working together.
