1The Challenge
What was the challenge?
MEGANEXUS, a high performing team, sought a virtual solution to connect and bond with team members spread across different countries. The goal was to create a fun, exciting, and challenging virtual engagement program that would facilitate team members' connection and collaboration.
2Our Solution
What solution did we design?
The Thought Bulb team proposed a 90-minute team activity with virtual icebreakers to cater to the team's needs. The main event was a Virtual Treasure Hunt conducted on the Zoom platform, where participants joined from various countries and formed sub-teams.
3How We Did It
How was the programme delivered?
1. Welcome and virtual icebreakers: The Thought Bulb team greeted participants as they joined the Zoom platform and started the session with engaging virtual icebreakers. These activities helped energize the participants and set the right atmosphere for the upcoming activity. 2. Activity Briefing: The facilitator provided a detailed briefing about the Virtual Treasure Hunt to all participants. The teams were assigned missions and divided into breakout rooms. 3. Collaboration using Thought Bulb gaming platform: Participants utilized the Thought Bulb gaming platform to collaborate and work together in their respective teams. The objective was to secure Treasure Coins during the Virtual Treasure Hunt. 4. Award ceremony: At the end of the session, a virtual award ceremony was held to announce the winners. The teams that demonstrated the best collaboration, competition, and out-of-the-box thinking were recognized and celebrated.
4Key Outcomes
What were the results?
The virtual engagement program focused on three key aspects: collaboration, competition, and thinking out of the box. Through the Virtual Treasure Hunt and the use of the Thought Bulb gaming platform, team members were able to connect, bond, and showcase their collaborative skills. The activity fostered a sense of healthy competition and encouraged participants to think creatively to solve challenges. The session concluded with an award ceremony to recognize and appreciate the efforts of the teams. The overall objective was to emphasize the importance of teamwork and the idea that collective intelligence is more powerful than individual capabilities, as expressed by the quote from Ken Blanchard: ""None of us is as smart as all of us.""" The team completed the programme with an overall satisfaction score of 9.0/10. Facilitation quality was independently rated 9.2/10. MEGANEXUS reported a visible and sustained improvement in cross-team communication in the weeks following the programme — and subsequently engaged The Thought Bulb for a follow-up session.
