From blueprint to boat, teams coordinate roles to build and race a seaworthy cardboard vessel.

Teams have to select a design, gather together some building materials and then combine their individual talents to build a seaworthy vessel.

Teams read through instructions and break into working groups, with specific task allocation. Some of the delegates draw plans onto the cardboard carefully, others cut the shapes out and, gradually, a boat takes form.

Participants also discover that true leadership and great ideas can often come from those you least expect. Teams personalize their boats by creating a bespoke team sail. The proof of a job well done takes place on a lake, pool or at the open sea.

Before the sail, teams will show their boat creations and celebrate their creativity.

Results: ‘Impossible’ becomes possible when people collaborate and coordinate their efforts.

Project planning and strategic communication are imperative as teams work in a limited time frame.
