ABB often brings together their managers from across the globe for professional development. At these gatherings, their time together is intensive.

The Need: To compliment their development curriculum a management retreat coordinator asked for a program that would get their team outside, providing an opportunity for managers to exchange ideas and strategies, outside the normal factory setting, while having a good time and provide opportunity for managers to work together to solve problems & learn to depend on others for assistance.

The Solution: A Team Challenge Hike – located near the meeting facilities ABB was utilizing was a beautiful trail that was not physically difficult but was very beautiful. A program as crafted that incorporated fun and challenging problem solving initiatives along with a hike along this trail.  An amazing overlook was used for a journaling reflection exercise.

The Results: A perfect day! The group was excited to leave the confines of the indoor meeting facilities. The trail provided an opportunity for participants to connect on a deeper level with those around them. The exercises were introduced at stopping points along the trail…they tackled each with a high level of motivation and fun. After refreshments and snacks at an amazing overlook, participants participated in a journaling reflection exercise. We then took a leisurely hike back to the starting point for 2 miles round trip.
