Kash Kings

Programme


For many people, Corporate Adventure-based programmes have centred on moving, in a somewhat predictable manner, from one "task" to another. The truth is that this format bears very little resemblance to the corporate environment both with regards to time frame and its single focus.

Kash Kings arises from the need for companies to be financially competitive in their respective markets. All departments within the company need to focus on the bottom line in the completion of their day-to-day activities. Hence Kash Kings focuses on exactly that; being competitive and making more money than "the others".

The group is divided into teams, who will compete with another at each one of a variety of challenges. Teams will be required to place a wager of "teambucks" on their own performance. If they successfully outperform their competition, they get to double the "teambucks" wagered. However, if they lose, they also relinquish the "teambucks" wagered.

Elements

Using compass navigation, groups rotate through a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction to a series of special task locations where they compete against another team for "teambucks".

Focus areas: Kash Kings focuses on the need for team planning, budgeting, understanding team skills and weaknesses and the company's relationship towards competition and focus on service delivery. The day ends with the all-important "Kash Kount" where we determine the winning team by counting each team's "teambucks".

Tasks

Tasks include both physical and mental challenges thereby involving all members of the population regardless of fitness, handicaps etc. Sample activities include:

·    Tyre Stack: Given a pile of car tyres, teams are required to "out-stack" each other by building freestanding towers.
·    Roman Numerals: Given clues in the form of roman numerals, teams need to decipher the clues before sending a pair of retrievers across a distance to a series of numbered discs, retrieve them and finally build the winning keyword.
·    Warp Speed: Try this activity for size in getting several objects from one place to another as quickly as possible. The whole group is bound to fold with laughter and concentration while occasionally retrieving a "lost" object
