Driven To Succeed

A fast-paced collaboration challenge that helps teams break down silos and align around shared success.

Overview

Teams are challenged to design and build a high-performance vehicle while balancing budget limitations, customer requirements, and competitive pressure. As the competition intensifies, teams quickly discover that individual success is not enough. The client’s needs can only be met through cross-team communication, coordination, and shared strategy. Debrief discussions focus on breaking down silos, improving organizational alignment, and creating better solutions through collaboration.

Who this workshop is right for:

  • Teams looking for an engaging experience with meaningful application.
  • Teams that need to focus on collaboration and customer focus.

Goals & Outcomes

  • Recognize existing silos that inhibit organizational and individual goals.
  • Shift from siloed thinking to broader organizational awareness.
  • Increase communication between teams and individuals.
  • Have fun together while building morale and camaraderie.

Agenda & Activities

Welcome & Warm-Ups (5-10 minutes) Atlanta Challenge staff welcome the group and set expectations for the teamwork activities. We then lead fast moving icebreakers that get participants moving, laughing, and ready to fully engage with their teammates.

Intro Teamwork Challenge (10-20 minutes) We jump right into the program with a quick collaborative challenge that requires ideas and input from the entire group to solve. This immediately gets the team engaged, highlights individual strengths, and sets the tone for the collaborative and competitive experience ahead.

Design Garage (40 minutes) Teams are presented with a high-stakes customer scenario and challenged to design and build a vehicle capable of delivering maximum performance under pressure. Using limited resources, a strict budget, and detailed customer requirements, teams must balance creativity, strategy, communication, and execution. Pressure quickly becomes intense as teams race to outperform each other while adapting to changing conditions and unexpected challenges.

Test Track (10 minutes) Teams unveil their creations and put them to the test in front of the entire group. The energy ramps up quickly as vehicles compete for distance, performance, and customer satisfaction. Teams earn points based on how well their solution meets the required criteria, but many groups overlook one critical detail: if all teams fail to meet the minimum customer standards, nobody wins. This creates a powerful and memorable conversation about silos, internal competition, communication breakdowns, and the importance of organizational collaboration.

Final Teamwork Challenge (10-20 minutes) This concluding challenge reinforces the team’s ability to coordinate ideas and execution under pressure, and work together toward a shared outcome.

Team Review & Wrap-up (5 minutes) Teams reflect on how they approached communication, decision-making, collaboration, and problem-solving throughout the experience. We then connect those insights to real workplace dynamics and conclude with a team picture and final thoughts from the team leader.
