High Caliber Contact - Communication and Synergy

Overview

High Caliber Contact is a simulation about communication and the creating of added value together. It gives the participants an ideal platform to experience numerous situations of teamwork and synergy.

High Caliber Contact answers the question : how the sum of the skills of each individual can create more added value for the company ?

In teams, the participants are given resources : precious stones, money, information cards, ...

Simulation

Their challenge : increase their wealth through negociation and exchange.
All the conditions are gathered so that each team can actually increase its wealth.

But are the participants aware of this ?

Objective

This business game :

creates conviviality in the seminar ;
forces people to act, communicate, meet.

To guarantee the success, a number of virtues are recommended :

ability to communicate easily and with efficiency ;
a spirit of sharing ;
trust ;
understanding others’ needs.

The lessons

The participants will discover by themselves the key factors of success for a group :

A number of immaterial resources can be found in the group.

Why look for, analyse and use information ?
Information is related to the strategy and the objectives.
Reactivity with regards to information is fundamental.
Direct and open communications are the key to effectiveness.
Trust is fundamental. How to create and maintain it ?
A “me focus” attitude blocks the process. A “us focus” attitude enriches the process.
How to create and maintain synergy ?

Everybody can discover which are the “bridles” to creating value in the company, and how to get rid of them through communication.

A debriefing session follows, in order for the participants to express themselves.

Analysing the experience

At the end of the game, the participants, still in teams, are invited to think about what they have just experienced, their becoming aware of certain behaviours and actions, their discoveries.
Thanks to a reflexion guide, they analyse how the different subjects of the simulation have been lived : communication, trust, synergy …
This is a first level of analysis.

The debriefing

Then, the participants will share their impressions.
In a plenary session, they will talk about what they have seen and felt, exchange points of view. This creates the conditions for a real enrichment.

Résults

With High Caliber Contact, the participants experience an original event, with action, enthusiasm and fun.

But more than this, they will have lived a common experience that will reinforce the feeling of belonging to a group and a company.

They will have met together, talked, developed links between them and therefore team spirit.

They will have seen and understood the opportunities for their group to improve its efficiency, especially in terms of communication, individual vs common objective. They will have taken responsibility to translate ideas and wishes into actual actions.

This event may serve as a base for future teamwork.

It gelled us together and was very important to understand each other better.
Very useful within very short time
Great way to learn the value of Strategy, Information & the power of initiative
Good starting exercise to get to know each other a bit more and to learn something at the same time.
REALLY GOOD ACTIVITY TO BREAK THE ICE BETWEEN PARTICIPANTS AND ALSO TO SEE SIMILARITIES WITH REAL JOB!
the best method to meet the people.
Good way to start.
This session was also really important as we got to know each other a bit more and thus to feel more at ease during the rest of the seminar.
It is amazing that we break the ice and know each other after the game. The game was fun and the facilitator is great.
Good approach to get to know each other in a short time
Open up communication early in the week
Great - talking to each other with a specific target. Realisation of the importance of information in business processes. Absolute marvellous. The importance of information was not new, but it was a fantastic way to bring this back to our brains.
This session gives us a strong input of importance of Information, Strategy, Team work, I will remember it and impact my way of thinking during job and life.
good tool to make people know each other + learning from the debriefing session
Absolutely brilliant and effective ¿ and genuinely good as the tutor was beyond comparison ¿ He is astonishing
It was a good start in terms of people get accustomed to each other and the main concept of game was proven with the results. It was the best way of learning.
Good to exchange with the group Really aligned with the objectives of the seminar Funny => really ice breaking
Perfect Ice-breaker! Useful since you could adapt a lot of the exercise into real business life.
One of the best ice-breakers I have experienced. With a clear and aligned purpose. A thought behind it that connects to the seminar as well as daily work life. Very interesting approach
It was a good ice-breaker, I had fun and quickly met new people.
Nice atmosphere. Discover each other.
Efficient way to create relationships between attendees – That was funny and unusual!
I appreciated it a lot - quick, efficient, interesting. Perhaps better to have a little more time to "play" and a little less to analyse the interest of the game.
