WINDJAMMER
SUCCESS IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET REQUIRES CAPITALISING ON EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
An ideal activity for teams that need to manage resources effectively and navigate market conditions. Are you ready to maximise your opportunity?
BUSINESS ISSUE
Every company deals with changing market conditions, challenges in resource management, and identifying the activities with the highest return, but each has varying levels of impact. What makes the difference?
The answer lies in the ability to capitalise on and profit from every opportunity, not just those easily accessible — that is what truly sets world-class companies apart. In Windjammer, you will be challenged to do exactly that. Learn how using your team effectively and operating with a practical yet flexible plan will boost profit and efficiency, regardless of the wind’s direction.
THE LEARNER EXPERIENCE
Step into the competitive world of Windjammer, where teams of participants vie for advantage in an extremely active market for high-quality sailing products. Demand is high, but market fluctuations will affect their value over time. In this engaging sail-themed experiential activity, participants will compete to acquire raw materials from other teams, manufacture specialised products and sell them when market demand is highest. Yet profit margin is not the ultimate measure of success in this nautical scenario — true victory is performing beyond expected results. To capitalise on all opportunities, negotiation and teamwork will be essential for success.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS LEARN
• Expand your focus on profit at all stages—planning, goal-setting, team formation and execution.
• Adjust team tactics and resources to enter productive action and capitalise on emerging opportunities.
• Prioritise objectives quickly and build relationships to leverage profit peaks.
• Apply strategies to adapt to changing conditions and overcome obstacles swiftly.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Our leaders were struggling with collaboration. We knew that, as a good group of teams, we weren’t always at our best. Deciding what to prioritise and when was always the usual internal challenge. Some teams would ‘win’ at the expense of others.
The result we needed was to ensure that everyone clearly understood the role they played in our ability to be brilliant in every function. This was meant to drive personal accountability — not just among our leaders, but among every individual across teams throughout our company.
Your experience, Promises, Promises!, allowed us to bring 200 people together to work on real-life situations we face daily and achieve 110% of our goals.
It was incredibly energising to see a room full of passionate people working so well together to overcome the obstacles preventing us from becoming a truly united team.
What we were able to achieve in half a day, with your support, would have taken us a year in the market. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to shift their team’s culture from good to great!”
