Teamwork RollaBall! Participants will learn: 1 hour + debrief to work as an effective team 9-21 (three teams of 3-7 per team) to collaborate rather than compete Staff at any level to work and cooperate with other teams £395 ex vat Three teams and one objective – to construct a runway that will allow a ping-pong ball to run from one end to the other. Euphoria if the ball completes its course – recriminations if it doesn’t! Teams have to work together to succeed. Great fun, with serious learning points clearly demonstrated. An ideal way to start a course - or to end on a high. Before the ‘rollaball’ construction can begin you earn the building resources by answering a series of questions. Then according to certain constraints you build your own segment of the runway. Clear communications with other teams ensures interfaces are built to the same specification of height and width! Finally you join forces with the other two teams and assemble the whole runway. Putting it to the test with the ping pong ball reveals all. A great way to review teamwork skills and the way we work with other teams. Lots of points emerge that can easily be implemented back at work. RollaBall!

Jane Caven, SageGreen Limited Used at a conference for Chartered Accountants and the best learning points include the need for planning, effective communication and COLLABORATION, not competition. Rollaball! is one of the most effective team work tools I have used. It is great fun for participants and builds an excellent team spirit on which further training may be based. I really enjoyed using it and achieved outstanding results. Keith Watkins, Royal Wolverhampton Hospital I used Rollaball for Teamwork Training with 12 first-time managers. The best learning points were the need to be less competitive and negotiate more openly! Excellent! A fantastic way to finish a 6-day programme – the delegates left on a real high.
