Many traditional corporate outings end up team destroying rather than team building and so a strategic approach to your investment in your team is needed and better achieves the outcomes you will want for your organisation.
Espionage Games has done just this and can combine what might be your Xmas dinner and drinks night into a thrilling, team building experience. Much more than your average, sit-all-day workshop, it is more fun, definitely more thrilling, whilst also providing a stronger learning environment!
Gamification can readily be added to an organisation’s training programme. Espionage Games’ Gamification Workshops are developed to “Maximise Learning Retention” and “Habit Formation.”
This is achieved by organising comprehensive knowledge transfer training, coupled with role-play and a real life espionage game which is played in the field. This method can provide a real-world experience as the means to really accentuate those team skills you’d like your managers and employees to further develop, including leadership, taking initiative, developing roles etc.
The Gamification Workshops are based on the belief that “experience is the best teacher”. It is because they have developed an experiential learning environment, that they have found the retention rate for participants in their Espionage Games are higher than the average, sit-all-day workshops and seminars. There is also the element of fun: learning through play works not just for kids, but also for adults - we retain information much better if we are in a positive environment and emotionally receptive to information, and through practical application of knowledge, we develop the skills we need and the confidence to apply them in a day to day environment. If spending a period of time being a spy sounds like fun - that’s because IT IS!
Espionage Games uses a mission construction process which allows us to orchestrate missions designed to improve the skills of a team of employees. In fact, we have identified 42 different leadership skills, of which any 3, can be included in a custom workshop and mission directive. The system includes the following:
● Multiple Training Programs: Leadership, Six Sigma, New Hire, etc.
● Customised training program for your specific organisation.
● Works for organisations of any size.
● Can be used by departments within an organisation.
● Organisations can select from from 42 Leadership Skills.
● Uses Kinaesthetic Learning Techniques.
Special Ops Gibraltar, another strand of our leisure experience business, has been trusted to provide team building experiences by many local companies such as EY Accountants, Hassans, Securitek, Lotto Land and even the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and visiting Royal Engineers. Our facebook page Espionage.games can offer some insight of what missions entail, but without giving away too much.
Castiel Winser decided to take the videography package which offers a spy’s point of view and is fun viewing.
Earlier this year Espionage.games went international and was contracted to offer our Professional Development through Kinaesthetic Gaming package in London for a cyber-security seminar. Over 200 delegates from businesses around the UK will be attending. We flew over to recce the five star Kympton Fitzroy hotel as the chosen venue and shall return in March next year with an agreed and carefully orchestrated mission, relevant to the seminar content, and with pride in being able to showcase what Gibraltar’s service sector can achieve.
