GET YOUR
TEAM OUT
OF THE
OFFICE.
Practical team building and leadership development in Whistler designed to challenge communication, decision-making, problem-solving and performance.
NOT JUST
CORPORATE
GAMES.
A good team day should do more than entertain people. It should create situations where the way a team communicates, plans, leads and makes decisions becomes visible.
Vanguard uses structured outdoor challenges and practical exercises to put teamwork and leadership into practice. Each day is built around the outcomes your business wants to develop, followed by debriefs that connect the experience back to the workplace.
SEE HOW
YOUR TEAM
ACTUALLY
WORKS.
When people are given a clear objective, limited resources and a real problem to solve, team behaviours become easier to see. That gives us something useful to work with.
Direction, delegation and adapting the approach when the situation changes.
Sharing information clearly, listening effectively and keeping the team aligned.
Using individual strengths while maintaining focus on the shared objective.
Making timely decisions with incomplete information and taking responsibility for them.
Planning, adapting and finding practical solutions when the first approach does not work.
Understanding roles, owning actions and following through on commitments.
BUILT
AROUND
YOUR TEAM.
The activity is the vehicle, not the objective. The format is selected around your group, available time and the behaviours or capabilities you want to develop.
Teams plan routes, work with maps and make decisions together while moving through outdoor terrain.
Structured challenges with clear objectives, constraints and opportunities for different people to lead.
Practical scenarios requiring planning, communication, adaptation and effective use of resources.
Leadership changes through the day so different styles, strengths and development areas become visible.
Exercises designed to create shared responsibility rather than allowing one person to carry the team.
Focused discussions connect the challenge back to leadership, communication and performance at work.
PURPOSE BEFORE
ACTIVITY.
We discuss the team, the objective and what you want people to take from the day.
Activities and challenge levels are selected around your team and available time.
The team works through structured challenges with opportunities to lead, plan and adapt.
We connect the experience to leadership, communication and performance at work.
MORE THAN
AN OFFSITE.
Whistler gives businesses an opportunity to take teams away from their normal environment. Vanguard uses that change of setting to create a focused development experience rather than simply filling the day with activities.
Team days can support management groups, growing businesses, operational teams, newly formed teams and organizations using a Whistler retreat or offsite to strengthen communication, leadership and accountability.
