Train Tracks

A complex, teamwork challenge

A highly inclusive and interactive team challenge where small teams of 5-8 people are given a tricky build challenge and must cut through the complexity using creative problem solving, strategic thinking and cooperative dynamic teamwork.

Our competitive and authentic behaviours often emerge as teams compete against each other to build the fastest or in under 30 minutes.

Build | Compete | Collaborate

Highlighting the challenge of creating a high performing team under pressure, this challenge throws up many authentic good day and bad day behaviours for teams and individuals to reflect on, connect to and apply into their own environments.

“Train Tracks really pushes our Master's students to think strategically and deliver under pressure, just as they must in the real world. At its core, the challenge is about problem-solving in cooperation with others. Students must navigate people's behaviours, think strategically to solve problems and work as a team to get results. It’s a brilliant, impactful and lasting learning experience."

Carole Campbell, Centre for Global Learning, University of Coventry
