The Oscars Odyssey – Movie Teambuilding (Case Study)

ABOUT THE CLIENT
German MNC

AIM
The 2-day program was specially designed to help the senior management crystalise the organisation's values. This was done through a creative and exciting programme where participants had to make a themed movie and everyone had the chance to be Director, Actor and Production Crew!

In the process, the participants were exposed to the principles of filmmaking, taught basic filmmaking and acting skills, and, eventually produced their own 1 minute film that brings clarity to “The Way We Work”.
 
Through a process involving facilitation, practical training, coaching, and creative thinking, participants are thrown out of their comfort zones, tasked with the objective of producing their own 1 minute film under intense time pressure and competition. This process is very effective in surfacing conflicts within the team, tests the teams' negotiation and decision capability, by putting the team through the process of Form-Storm-Norm-Perform, experiencing the processes that a high performing team goes through in order to achieve success within a short span of time.

RESULTS
The pride and satisfaction that the participants felt at the end of the programme was awe-inspiring. Participants surprised themselves with their ability to take on a field completely unfamiliar to them, and under the guidance of the facilitators, produced a short film which they were truly proud of. One of the participants even went and bought a Macbook that evening to continue exploring the art of filmmaking taught to them during the workshop!
