How does Corporate Outbound Training work?
Outdoor training is a proven and effective method to train and develop sales staff, irrespective of their level and responsibilities within the organisation. Outdoor methods differ from standard training strategies in several important ways:
• Outdoor training tasks are a direct and clear means by which group interaction is assessed and developed.
• The impact of decisions and actions participants take is immediate and directly relates to the success of the team.
• When outdoors, the familiar influences and the ‘support culture’ within the workplace are removed and the participants are able to concentrate on the activity and the training. By removing of the daily work environment, the explicit aim of the method is to provide an effective, enjoyable and challenging experience.
The design of each exercise has been developed keeping in mind specific learning objectives. ‘Learning’ by participants will be ensured through the post-exercise ‘review’ and / or ‘evaluation’ of the ‘process’ and ‘behaviour’ demonstrated by the participants while going through the exercise/s. The review will be conducted at the end of each exercise and will be done either by the participants responding to a questionnaire, by small group discussions or through a syndicate approach.
Each exercise is meant to provide the participants with a certain amount of self-discovery, self-examination and self-understanding along with its intended outcome of self-development. There is also, of course, the joy and thrill of participating in such outdoor activities which will refresh and rejuvenate the participants, both physically and mentally. In addition, the activities present a challenging environment, which stretches the “normally assumed" capabilities of the participants and helps them break out of their self-imposed ‘limitations’.
All these effects become evident by the physical and mental ‘high’, which the participants exhibit in their work place after they return from the Outdoor Development Programme.

Outbound programmes
Corporate Outbound Training entails the use of soft adventure activities and management games to develop various themes such as leadership skills, conflict management, communication and teamwork in a group of people.
This training programme aims to take people, out of the comfort zone of their normal office environment into an outdoor environment to participate in some specially designed outdoor exercises and management games. These exercises are in turn reviewed and integrated to the corporate environment through ‘class-room’ sessions. All our programmes are run under a strict safety code of conduct and the adventure activities/ games are custom designed in accordance to the fitness level of participants.
Tailor-made Training and Development programmes – Our preferred option
FLAME Human Capital Management works in partnership with the client to tailor the solution to address the specific needs and requirements of your business. Tailoring our solutions to meet your needs begins at the first point of contact with your company. We need to know from the outset how your business operates whilst gaining an understanding of the business culture, structure, clients, business dynamics and key people.
From here, a set of bespoke practical exercises, such as case studies and role-plays are developed to complement the theoretical elements of the training course. For example, within a sales training course, this may mean developing scenarios that incorporate 'real' clients, 'real' competitors and other live information which helps to make the practical exercises as realistic as possible.
Our approach to tailoring has meant that delegates perceive our training as extremely credible which in turn has resulted in the implementation of real solutions to real problems within our clients businesses.
