Campus to Corporate Essentials- Half Day

Session Focus: Execution Excellence is a mindset and not just a list of tasks on a checklist. It is about being proactive towards improvement, and not being reactive to product issues or customer reviews. To move from just Execution to Execution Excellence, it is essential to be absolutely clear about all aspects that drive the execution. This session includes the key elements that one needs to incorporate to practice excellence like- Clarity of Objective, Driving discipline and attention to detail amongst many others.
Activity In focus: In this activity, the participants, as a team must stamp on cards numbered from 1-40 in a sequence, in the fastest time possible. There are certain rules and constraints that the participants have to operate within and still show excellence in execution. Teams are given multiple attempts to demonstrate reduced time of completion as they focus on excellence beyond mere execution.
Learning Connect: The activity design establishes the fact that Execution Excellence is a mindset, it's about driving discipline and attention to detail along with the team to improve efficiency. As the team keep improving their timing with each attempt, they see value in imbibing the steps to execution excellence as a practice. The constraints make it a challenging activity and hence bring out a lot of relevant conversations around execution excellence.

Session Focus: Collaboration is about changing one’s orientation from only seeking help from peers to complete one’s tasks to offering help and enabling them first before expecting help from them. This session covers the elements like respecting dependencies and Building Trusting Relationships, taking ‘Individual’ ownership and initiative and constantly aligning priorities with people who have a shared goal.
Activity in focus: Human Matrix : In this activity, participants must cross over a maze of wooden blocks arranged in a matrix with 4 quadrants. The group is divided into 4 teams and they are each given a specific route covering 3 of the 4 quadrants. There are rules that govern how the teams may use the blocks and under what circumstances the blocks may be taken away.
Learning Connect: The activity design establishes upfront the need to acknowledge and respect interdependence as the 4 teams try to reach their exits to complete the matrix, together. The learning for collaboration emerges when teams realise the impact of one’s actions on the team’s goal and how taking personal responsibility for the overall common purpose, is the key to successful collaboration.

Session Focus: Communication is not just about getting the message across to others but also about achieving the intended action.

The learning conversation goes beyond the theoretical aspects of communication as a skill.
Activity in Focus: Strand-ed: In this activity, the teams have to transport a ball from one specified location to another using a ring connected to strings that they can hold to manoeuvre the ball. There are certain constraints that makes this activity a complex and layered one.
Learning Connect: This activity helps participants reflect the foundational behaviors of communication to get the intended action done. Observations in the activity drive critical conversations around active listening, empathy and more. It can in turn help the teams develop a method of communication that works for them.
