FAQ's

I think the main advantage is in how it provides a non-confrontational and non-hierarchical language to describe a person's natural behavioural tendencies. The fact that it is behavioural based (rather than a psychometric assessment) and easily understood and used by people at all levels in an organisation is of course, a big advantage, plus of course there is also the facility for observer feedback. The main disadvantage is that, as behaviour is more open to change, the assessments need to be done at reasonably regular intervals. This may, however, be regarded as an advantage and something that should be encouraged.

A Management Development Programme would benefit in a number of ways: 
1. By enhancing a managers' awareness of their own style, which could then be used as a basis for improving their team effectiveness.
2. By providing managers with a better understanding of their team and thereby enabling them to tap into these natural preferences when assigning work and when planning their future development.
3. By equipping managers with the ability to select effective teams and diagnose weaknesses in existing teams.

I suggest you consider getting each person to do a behaviour profile. This will provide you with valuable insights about each person's natural behavioural tendencies. Information can then be used to help decide who should be doing what and, as far as possible, ensure preferences and motivations are taken into account.

Team profiling models can be used to improve team performance in a number of ways. Here are four of them: 
1. It helps each person to be clear about their natural contribution when working in a team.
2. By sharing this information between team members, each person is aware of the role of other team members and can use this information to improve synergy.
3. By analysing the Team Roles of the whole team, the team balance can be checked and steps taken to remedy any imbalance.
4. Hierarchy within teams is de-emphasised, and individual contributions are encouraged on merit.

The phrase Outdoor Team Building is used to describe any activities in a group format that are designed to promote better teamwork, improve communication, enhance morale or provide a reward. Some of our more popular examples are our Whacky Racers, Country Sports Events and our ever popular Krypton Maze problem solving activity.

As most of us tend to work inside for most if not all of the year, it makes a nice change to be able to get outside and enjoy the elements for a change! It can be far more convenient as we work with a lot of venues that have an abundance of grounds making it perfect for many of our events. We even have a permanent base at the Four Seasons Hampshire Hotel where our permanent set up is a fantastic option all year round.

Yes, as is intense sunshine! Where possible, our events will have a range of pop up gazeboes to provide shelter from the elements. We also have a selection of rain jackets available for clients if their coats aren’t exactly waterproof! Advice is also provided in terms of suitable clothing and we will issue additional guidance a few days prior once a more accurate weather forecast is available.

The popularity of certain Team Building Events over the years has chopped and changed, however, I’d have to say that our Krypton Maze is our most popular Outdoor Team Building Event closely followed by Country Sports. Both have great flexibility in terms of timing and are super inclusive. 
A few of our other most popular activities are:
Whacky Racers - Teams are given a basic wooden Go-Kart and tasked with building their very own Whacky Racer.
GPS Treasure Hunts - This has to be our most flexible activity - we can run them absolutely anywhere on earth! Our software allows us to drop pins in any location and questions can be customised to fit any theme or company objective.
All For One - our best collaboration event where teams get to contribute to a number of different projects at different stages - either beginning one, continuing one or finishing one. How good is the communication during handovers?

One of the activities we get asked about again and again is Duck Herding! If you only have a small budget and a few people, this can be run as a stand alone activity which is both entertaining, fun and impactful. With a bigger budget, the same amount of people can tag on as many other Country Sports options as they wish!

Our Krypton Maze is a fast moving competitive puzzle fest where we can have up to 5 teams at a time in a race to solve the same task in a maximum of 20 minutes per challenge. The top teams at the end play off in The Dome to grab as many ticker tapes as possible. With the number of challenges available, groups can be in the hundreds!
With ample space, a number of Country Sports options also works well with multiple set ups available to cater for large groups at each activity. Or why not have a mix of both with our Ultimate Team Event!

The duration of our Outdoor Team Building Events depends on the type of event you choose - they can last anything from an hour to 6 hours. Speaking to our expert team will ensure we help you choose the activity and duration that’s best for you and your team.

That’s a very good question but the truth is: It Depends! Each Outdoor Teambuilding Event cost varies depending on the activity itself, (some use a lot more staff and resources than others), and the number of people who will be taking part.
Here at Teambuilding Solutions, we provide the best quality equipment along with the experts to give you the best experience possible.
Our guarantee as a small business is this: we can be very competitive on price in comparison to other larger companies!

We are 100% mobile meaning we bring your event to you. This can mean using you own office grounds to host the event or we can help you find the right venue that can support your needs - all provided free of charge!

A Team Building Ice Breaker is a very broad term used to describe any activities in a group or individual format that is designed to promote better teamwork, improve communication, enhance morale and allow people to get to know each other better. Some of our more popular examples are our Escape Room in a Box Event, Murder Mystery Events and our ever popular Cocktail Making Workshop. We also have examples of smaller Ice Breakers such as Two Truths and a Lie and Paper Tower.
