Human Skills
Applying human skills in a real-world environment.

In Human Skills team building activity, teams are given GPS enabled iPad that will guide them to several checkpoints. Each team can choose their destination and routes depending on the skills they would like to explore and the depth of learning they want to realise. Basic, advanced, and expert levels within each skill mean the teams can choose to focus on a skill from beginning to end or look to acquire a wider level of knowledge spread across more skills. The checkpoints require thinking about the skill in regard to real life situations. They may need to find examples of the skill or think of a creative way the skill could be used in relation to what the team see around them. All the time the team’s progression is being sent back to the activity facilitator in real time so that they can see what the team are doing and prepare a meaningful debrief when the team return at the end.

Teams explore the various skills contained in the activity, empathy, decision making, trust etc. By leaving the meeting room and looking up and outwards, they gain a much more open minded and creative mindset than looking inwards and down as in many workshop-based activities. Literally the world is their resource to realise. Due to the time constraints in addition to exploring the actual skills, the team must decide how they want to focus their attention, whether they hope to specialise in a couple of skills or gain a broader but less developed understanding of all the skills. A challenge for managers in their daily business.
