What happens when just a day prior your client informs you to switch from outbound to inbound training and you have to engage a whopping 80 people? What would you do in such a situation?
Recently, we conducted an Outbound Training (OBT) session for an Indian multinational motorcycle manufacturing company, spearheaded by Ganesh Dalvi, CPF and co-facilitated by Waseem Karim , Vahista Anklesaria , and myself Sapna Jain,CFTP . This experience has been incredible and one that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Key Highlight of what worked
First and foremost what came to the rescue was
One of the keys to making any outbound intervention successful is maintaining an optimal group size for effective engagement. The ideal size of a smaller group is between 7-14 hence we formed six smaller groups. However, with only four facilitators on hand, we encountered a logistical hurdle. This led us to recruit and train volunteers(from a non-training background)from the client's events team overnight, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to assist with the activities. It was a rewarding experience to train these volunteers in such a short timeframe, and they exceeded expectations in executing their tasks flawlessly.
Throughout this process, several key elements emerged as essential pillars of success.
Here, what worked, and the Aha moments I experienced

Conducting a Relay at different locations had its own set of challenges, but I am proud to say we ran it smoothly
What worked here is:
We started the session with context setting followed by the process Glad,Mad,Sad which helped in breaking the ice, bringing the participants together and creating a safe space. This process was pivotal in transitioning the group from individual mindsets to a cohesive team dynamic.
We then formed the teams, with the paucity of time this was another challenging task and involving the client sponsors in this process proved invaluable. The relay activities followed
To conclude the day, participants were given back all their charts? to gather all the learning points from the activities and present the action plan moving forward,
Our efforts eventually led to a huge success. The intervention was executed flawlessly and seamlessly, thanks to Ganesh's meticulous planning, the dedication of our co-facilitators, and the hard work of our volunteers, who invested themselves fully in learning and executing their roles. We are grateful to our clients for giving us the opportunity to make this happen.

11 个月It’s true, Sapna Jain,CFTP. This experience was out-of-the-ordinary and truly one to reckon with and cherish for a long, long time! And You explained it so well! ????
Such an in-detail synopsis Sapna Jain,CFTP ! I could visualise the venue and could go to all the places where the relay happened ?? I believe, to handle this huge shift in training dynamics at such short notice, is very challenging. Not getting baffled by it needs a lot of courage.. It was insightful to learn about what changes were made and how they worked in favour of the final result. Kudos to Ganesh Dalvi, CPF for leading this to success and to the entire team to execute it so well!
