Get Set…Go!

At-a-Glance

Get, Set…Go! can be facilitated as a half-day (3.5 hours) or full-day (7 hours) program. Get Set…Go! can be brought to a park or urban setting around the world, and designed to capitalize on area resources (parks with lakes, trains and trolleys, climbing gyms and bike paths).

Teams of 4-5 are given a backpack with supplies and a map, a time limit and a mission to complete. We mix sophisticated problem-solving challenges, compass and/or GPS skills, and adventure elements (for example: biking, hiking, rock-climbing, or kayaking) to test the team’s mettle.

We complete the adventure by debriefing the day’s experiences and drawing parallels to workplace dynamics.

The Facilitators’ Role

Prep

• Review all pre-program communication.
• Practice introductions of activities at home and with facilitators onsite.

Logistics

• Releases: collect and review for skipped signatures, cross-outs and missing dates; communicate with lead facilitator as needed.
• Supplies: distribute and collect team backpacks.
• Photos: take pictures throughout program and, most important and often forgotten, a final large group photo.

Facilitation

• Lead facilitator introduces the program.
• Facilitators are strategically positioned to facilitate a bonus challenge or take a snapshot of teams in action.
• Lead facilitator wraps up program by leading a large group scoring session and debrief with co-facilitators taking notes.

Clean-up

• Pack supplies for return shipping.

Why Get Set…Go! is Such a Great Program!

• We test a team’s ability to think on-the-fly, act strategically and problem solve, all while navigating unfamiliar territory.
• Get Set…Go! has a combination of physical and intellectual challenges so that every team member can participate and shine in his or her own right.
