So You are Thinking of Leaving Corporate America to Start Your Own Biz?
I think it's GREAT that you are ready to break away from 'the Man' and start your own business! My hat goes off to you! But, I do have a bone to pick with you first! What tools does your corporate job provide you that helped make you successful enough in the first place? Do you get unlimited administrative support? Do you have access to a large database of information that you may take for granted? Or, do you have an intranet/file management system that you rely on everyday that you couldn't li

Corporate treasure hunts are increasingly marketed and used as team building events, quite rightly so as they combine the best of traditional team building with an enjoyable day. A treasure hunt, properly set up, can develop inter-departmental communication and co-operation, planning skills and problem solving skills. Thus it can improve staff motivation and efficiency. A poorly set up treasure hunt on the other hand, will have little real value, your employees will enjoy it but they will come out of it having practiced few of the skills normally associated with team building.

Your treasure hunt could easily be set up by Beryl and Sid from Accounts, nice and cheap in-house team building, but remember, they are not team building professionals and will not have the bigger skills-development picture in their mind when planning the hunt. It will be more like a club or church treasure hunt. For a real benefit, you will need to use an external provider, but that will be expensive so naturally you want to make sure you get value for money. So what should you look for in a good corporate treasure hunt?

Friction Favors the Defense Because An Attack Takes Time
One of the reasons the defensive form of warfare is so strong is the difficulty of launching a surprise attack.“In theory,” says Clausewitz, “surprise promises a great deal. In practice, it generally strikes fast by the friction of the whole machine.”In theory, the 1916 battle of the Somme was going to be a surprise attack. But after moving a million men into position and waiting a week for the artillery to do its job, the Allies were left with little surprise.The larger th

Answering Services Explained
Answering services are what business and others used before the phone companies offered voice mail and before there were answering machines. Answering services are businesses that answer the phones and take messages for people, whether they are doctors, lawyers, or other businesses and individuals. Instead of leaving a message at the sound of the tone, you leave your message with a human being who takes down the relevant information and passes it on to their client. These people can answer qu

Beta Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry
I recently heard a technology presentation from a young but experienced CEO of a big ‘clicks and mortar’ organization. He told the large audience confidently, ‘Beta means never having to say you’re sorry.’‘That’s right,’ I thought to myself. ‘When launching the beta test of a new web-enabled process, customers must understand it’s only a pilot run and should be forgiving if things mess up or don’t work out as planned.’I was totally wrong about his point of view.In direct co

IT Outsourcing- Myths and Facts
Across the country, workers with blue and with white collars are up in arms about the jobs being outsourced to cheap labor in other countries. “Our livelihoods flowing overseas!” But is this the reality? Are jobs really flowing overseas to fill the pockets of greedy investors and robbing the poor common man of his source of income?Or is the reality different - does outsourcing your IT actually create more jobs?

The clues address the communication aspect of team building, and to a degree, develop the lateral thinking skills needed for problem solving. To further develop these skills, each treasure hunt should include extra tasks, such as scavenging items or producing photographic evidence to show a task was completed.

Planning is essential to every organisation, team building exercises should always include this element. A good corporate treasure hunt should facilitate this. A poor corporate hunt or church/club treasure hunt will be linear, everyone follows the same route, a few minutes apart. Soon there is no need to think because the group in front are writing excitedly. You see this and you know where the next answer is! What use is that for skills development? A good provider will address this by supplying more clues than could possibly be answered in the time available. At the start of the hunt, each team should spend time considering their route, which clues they intend to answer and what contingency plan they will have if they are running behind or ahead of schedule.
