Team Building Activity - Widgets

So what is this about?

Widgets is a process improvement challenge.  Widgets challenges your team to take control of the process of setting up a Widget Factory, a widget being a coloured stress ball.  Your Factory is made up of the many Process Requirements set for you by your MMA Facilitator.  What initially seems daunting, stressful and improbable soon comes to fruition when everyone works together. Widgets is fast paced and very interactive.

And how is this Real and Relevant?

The debrief points for Widgets is endless. It is with no apologies that we introduce the team to a very chaotic environment that we call your Widget Factory. Widgets is about pushing the boundaries, seeing possibilities, working together, implementing actions for improvement and celebrating successes along the way.

Common themes that arise through Widgets include:

  • Working together to overcome obstacles.
  • Self Awareness of importance of role and how that effects the team.
  • Empathy and understanding of how each individual’s role affects the entire outcome.
  • Resource allocation.
  • Time and Self Management.
  • Effective Leadership.


What can I expect in this Team Building Activity?

  • Chaos from the start, what better way to look at how we function as a team! We love Widgets!!
  • Expect that the program has been designed specifically for your team only because that is what our clients tell us!
  • Each team that participates in Widgets is amazed at the efficiency improvements they make throughout this activity.
  • The debrief of the activity will deliver action points that the team WANT to implement when they return to the office environment.
