Helping Shire's Dubai Team Navigate Change Through Experiential Learning

What happened...

Shire's Dubai office wanted to bring approximately 50 employees together for a fun and engaging team-building experience with a meaningful business connection. Managing change was a key focus, with Shire looking to help its people respond more effectively to change in both their personal and professional lives. The activity needed to combine an enjoyable shared experience with opportunities to explore the challenges of adapting to change.

And the outcomes...

Through Detour, Shire's employees experienced a team challenge that participants recognised as reflecting their own working environment. The experience brought changing leadership, shifting team dynamics, prioritisation and collaboration into focus. Participants described the challenge of adapting to new leaders, understanding different personalities and working together under time pressure. Their feedback highlighted the combination of practical learning, trust, energy and enjoyment.
