iBuild is a dynamic and highly engaging activity, where each participating team needs to build an exact replica of a model without looking at it.

In this highly engaging activity, the focus falls on interdepartmental communication and collaboration. Every single participant plays a vital role for the success of their team.

Participants are split into small groups and assigned a specific role in the communication chain.
The goal is to build a model from very simple elements, following the chosen strategy within a limited amount of time. Teams allocate roles and develop a communication strategy. The information flows through the line from the ‘Architect,’ passing it to the ‘Courier’ and reaching the ‘Builder’ with the active support of the person designated to offer ’Feedback’.

Results: Participants gather around their building board and start to share their experiences.

iBuild focuses on the importance of language, feedback and creating a step-by-step project strategy.

The strict rules are designed to emphasize the main principles of accurately conveying information. iBuild is a great way of enhancing internal communication skills between different company departments, as-well-as their communication with the clients.

iBuild – Festive

Each player has a specific role with specific communication barriers. Particular roles are restricted to specific zones within the play area. The necessary information is communicated down a chain of people to the “Elves”.

At half-time, team members switch roles and continue the build process.

When time is up, teams come together to view their achievement, celebrate and discuss their success. Themed fancy dress hats define each role.

iBuild Festive is a fun way to lift the team spirit and their sense of success at your end-of-year meeting, based on the principles of gamification.

Hybrid possibility

Ibuild can easily be adapted to include remote participants.
