White Water Expedition
Keep your clients happy, your crew safe and your business profitable.
About
Imagine running the first commercial rafting trip down one of the world’s great rivers. In White Water Expedition, a high-energy indoor business game, each team becomes a rafting company with exactly that chance.
The adventure starts with planning. Teams research, learn and set their strategy, then begin an expedition of up to 15 days, earning client satisfaction points and food supplies by completing challenges. Time, food and goodwill are all limited, so every choice counts.
Full-size rafts, paddles and real expedition gear create a dramatic setting, while spectacular video footage gives everyone a taste of white water.
Every decision about route, pace and supplies affects both the client experience and the bottom line. The team that finishes with the highest net profit wins.
Learning outcomes
A successful expedition needs a careful balance of research, client satisfaction, safety and profit, the same mix that drives strong performance in any business. It suits client-facing and operations teams particularly well.
Teams receive more information than one person can handle, so they must decide who tracks what and filter what really matters. Managing information well becomes essential to delivering the best result for clients.
Participants must also manage a budget, making sure clients have a great experience while the business stays profitable. Teams that share the workload and keep talking usually make the best decisions.
As with any goal-driven project, the temptation to skip planning and just start is strong. The review afterward is especially valuable, with practical lessons on planning, priorities and teamwork to take back to the office.
