Shark Pitch

Teams create, market, and pitch a new product while building creativity, innovation, and collaboration skills.

Overview

Teams become innovation crews challenged to create, develop, and pitch a new product idea. Working with limited time, materials, and information, each team must identify a customer need, design a concept, build a simple prototype, create marketing materials, and prepare a short pitch. The experience is fastpaced, creative, and highly interactive. Teams practice brainstorming, customerfocused thinking, decision-making, communication, and collaboration under pressure. The final pitch gives each group a chance to present their idea, explain its value, and compete for support from the room

Who this workshop is right for:

  • Creative groups that enjoy hands-on challenges.
  • Teams that need to stretch their thinking and innovation skills.
  • Teams that want to practice collaboration, pitching, and idea development.

Goals & Outcomes

  • Develop a customer-focused innovative mindset.
  • Practice creative collaboration and idea development.
  • Use limited resources strategically and imaginatively.
  • Build morale while strengthening teamwork and presentation skills.

Agenda & Activities

Welcome & Warm-Ups (10-15 minutes) Our staff welcome the participants and build excitement for the event. We then lead some fun warm-up activities that also randomly create small teams.

Team Up! (5-10 minutes) Teammates get to know each other, and develop team names and slogans.

Event Intro (5-10 minutes) Our on-site facilitator introduces the event, and goes over the rules and other essential details. Teams review their materials, delegate team member roles, and discuss their strategy for accomplishing all parts of their pitch and the corporate scavenger hunt.

The Pitch Challenges (1.5-2 hours) Our app guides each team through a series of business objectives designed to help prepare their product pitch for the boardroom. Possible challenges include:

  • Logo Design: Each team designs a creative and meaningful logo for their product.
  • Market Research: Using the general public or our actors (included in large group programs), each team must survey potential customers for market viability.
  • Product Prototype: Using available materials, each team creates a prototype of their product to use in their marketing.
  • Video Advertisements: Using their iPads, teams film short infomercials about their new product.
  • Invest Points: Teams have the opportunity to “invest” points in other teams for influence or collaboration.
    Bonus Business Challenges: As teams complete missions and earn points, additional missions are revealed in the app. Teams use these bonus points for “investing” and other purposes.

Scoring & Voting (10 minutes) Teams reconvene at the starting area to finalize their scoring and vote for their favorite team.

Final Pitch (5-15 minutes) The most popular team has the opportunity to present their pitch live to the entire group.

Review (5-10 minutes) We briefly discuss lessons learned during the program and ideas for implementing best practices into the workplace.

Wrap-Up (10-15 minutes) We end with a fun closing activity and a group picture.
