Team Target

Conflict resolution, negotiation and interpersonal skills are key learning points in this training game.

This activity gives participants the opportunity to practice the complex skills required to handle conflict and negotiation. Participants also experience the conflicting emotions, which negotiation and influencing typically arouse. It places emphasis upon appropriate aspects of team and individual performance.

A great training resource which asserts the importance of strategy and tactics that respond to change. The exercise explores and manages issues of conflict, trust, negotiation, teamwork, honesty and fairness.

How it works

Each team is provided with a “Target Strip” indicating a series of targets to be achieved during the exercise. A limited and varying number and value of rods is made available by the facilitator during each 'round' of the exercise, thus increasing or decreasing the pressure on each successive group of arbitrator and negotiators.

Targets are achieved by negotiating for rods that achieve high marks on their target strips and teams are in competition for the same rods!

The exercise is competitive; the winning team being the one with the highest number of points at the end of the exercise.
