Bridge Building

Building Bridges.

Do your teams compete or collaborate? Build a stronger organisation from within.

Following an initial introduction to the activity teams are issued with a challenging design brief for creating a bridge that satisfies several technical criteria.

Teams must be mindful of their finite budget as they plan their project in detail before buying construction materials from our dedicated materials shop.

Building Bridges culminates in a nail biting test of all of the teams' bridges which are awarded points for satisfying the brief as well as for efficient use of the resources.

This activity can be used as an inter team competition, however it can also be used as a large scale collaborative exercise to highlight the dangers of silo working.

Building Bridges can be used to highlight best practice project management and is a great vehicle for exploring effective teamwork by looking at planning, resource management, communication and task allocation.
