Sub-teams are given what at first appears to be a simple task. As the activity progresses, the participants find that they must challenge their own assumptions regarding competition, problem solving, and "the way things have always been done." In order to reach and surpass their goal, teams must maintain their cohesiveness under pressure; achieve consensus across multiple work groups; adapt to changing conditions; share best practices; and rotate leadership within the group.

Your team will need to complete a number of tasks, each one represented by a different size and weighted object. As each task is completed, the objects get placed on the balancing board. The goal is to complete as many tasks as possible, while ensuring balance and stability is sustained. As groups progress through the various stages of this activity, they will need to literally balance more tasks/objects in less time. This topsey turvey initiative will challenge any group to find their equilibrium.

Debrief for a powerful learning experience
Experiential learning activities are based on the principles of experiential education, and serve as the basis for engaging team building programs that deliver high impact team and leadership skills development. Debriefing occurs after the activity and is an important process designed to synergize, strengthen, and transfer learning from the experience to real-life, on-the-job situations. Our professional facilitators can tailor, modify, and debrief each activity to meet the specific needs of your team.
