BUPA's Awesome F1 challenge
BUPA's Property & Development team join forces with Successfactory for an Awesome F1 challenge
The recently merged property and development team from Bupa Care Homes recently came together for 2 days at Successfactory to unite as one high performing team. They spent day 1 proving how good they are with a Formula 1 Challenge. Activities included a Pit Stop Challenge with an incredible full scale F1 car . The team had to work together using weather reports and track information to change tyres and re-fuel the car as quickly as possible. A 32 second pitstop was recorded as a new best time . Giant scalextric was an opportunity for them to show off individual skill, and help their team to get the best lap times . The team also beat away the cold with a Segway Slalom race. We saw some excellent pit relays , team support and a variety of fantastic dismounts. Each team raced to get the final points by designing their own race track with bends, bridges and features which represented their teams strengths and values. Tracks featured a variety of metaphors such as: keeping ahead of the competition, Claire's curves, the knowledge pool, Evans Elbow and a fast response team to help keep them on track. The day enabled the team to get to know each others strengths and build strong relationships. The conversations continued over dinner and well into the evening!
Day 2 involved building trust and understanding through behavioural analysis as the team shared their individual strengths. The team then got stuck into developing their "ways of working" and agreeing their team charter using graphic facilitation. King Arthur was even called into action as a mentor and guide to help the team develop the key attributes of a high performance team.
