This challenge simulates a complete business process from
initial concept through design, production, marketing and
promotion. It's all done in a light-hearted and highly creative
environment requiring co-operation, mental and artistic skills
(and several pounds of chocolate!).
Participants are divided into teams of approximately five
to undertake various challenges. These range from piping names
on chef's hats (in chocolate, of course), producing chocolate
self-portraits and creating an original branded box of chocolates.
Using creative thinking, teams must seek out a gap in the
chocolate box market and come up with an original product
to fill it. As a team they then have just 90 minutes to turn
their idea into reality. They must construct and decorate
the box, make the chocolates from raw ingredients, calculate
their profit margin and film a TV commercial. The finished
products are later assessed for quality, profitability and
originality and prizes are awarded to the winning team. Each
aspect of the performance is then reviewed to draw out parallels
with day-to-day working life.
While this activity will produce great benefit on its own,
we recommend a facilitator to achieve best results.
