Teamwork BETWEEN Teams
The Bank Job
All four teams have to COOPERATE with each other to get this job done. If they try to compete all will be lost. Great lesson for different departments in an organisation!
How it works
An audacious robbery in London means that four departments in the Metropolitan Police are out to catch the culprits. The problem is that their individual budgets won’t give them all the resources needed to apprehend the villains. But by sharing the load teams can achieve together what no single team can achieve on its own. Will they be willing to share what they know and pool their budgets?
What it does
Sometimes you just wouldn’t know that people are working for the same organisation, so deeply ingrained is their desire to compete. And even if you decide to co-operate how do you convince others that you can be trusted and that you’ll reciprocate in terms of giving information and sharing costs? The Bank Job lets teams try for a win-win situation – and any team that doesn’t join in can expect a rough ride from the others!
Customer feedback
A great success. Over 10 sessions it never failed to intrigue and frustrate - and I now know Soho and the West End much better!
– P. Gorley, Compuserve
Enjoyed by all, energising and good fun - and not as simplistic as it might seem.
– M. Riley, Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust
Excellent team working exercise that gets any group thinking and working together - while having fun. Had lots of positive comment from the attendees.
