Great corporate event

New World Challenge offer something different. We held our latest company event with them. It was as a reward for the hard work the troops had put in but also as a team building exercise. We wanted a company who would give us a team building activity with a difference. They promise they will teach you through a process called experiential learning. We had a lot of fun. The weather was fine and the activities were challenging but were a great experience. The event was held at a outwards bound centre in the Lake District. One of the activities involved building a bridge - quite a few tempers were frayed over that one. And for those that enjoy freezing water there was a raft-building exercise. At the end we were all pretty exhausted. I would recommend new world challenge for your next corporate event.

Go Mad Thinking

One of our newest clients is Go Mad Thinking Consulting group. They are based in a rural part of Leicestershire. They are quite difficult to find up a dirt track (passed a no entry sign!). The Go MAD Research & Consulting Group, are a change management consultancy based in the UK, specialising in change management training and change management process. Their consultants offer you a unique, research based, solution focused, thinking system that equips people with the mindset and systems thinking skills to make significant personal and business improvements. We spent a couple of days with them and and it was really interesting and fun. Individuals in our company have been motivated to think creatively as to how they can make improvements to the business and have taken personal responsibility to do so. It is great to be able to measure the specific business differences made as opposed to development with intangible results.

Go MAD Research & Consulting Group specialises in helping companies with organisational change and business process improvement. Organisational culture change often needs specialist help to be truly successful and they have implemented many management development training programmes and courses throughout the UK. We will tell you more about this company as we work with them.
