“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” — Andrew Carnegie
At PIBS, our Team Outbound & Experiential Learning Program is more than just a retreat—it is a rigorous, high-impact intervention designed to break down silos and build unbreakable professional bonds. By removing your team from the comfort of the office and placing them in dynamic, hands-on environments, we trigger the “Aha!” moments that lead to lasting behavioral change.
Program Philosophy: Learning by Doing
Our methodology is anchored in David Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model, which ensures that every activity follows a cycle of Experience → Reflection → Conceptualization → Application.
- 75% Retention Rate: Unlike classroom lectures (5–10%), experiential learning ensures participants retain up to 75% of the lessons through direct physical and mental engagement.
- Psychological Safety: We create a “safe-to-fail” environment where teams can experiment, make mistakes, and debrief to find better solutions for the real world.
Key Learning Pillars
- Synergy & Strategic Alignment: Finding commonalities between personal and organizational goals to ensure everyone is moving in the same direction.
- Crisis & Conflict Resolution: Navigating “process breakdowns” to re-group, re-strategize, and overcome learning curves.
- Trust & Vulnerability: Breaking down hierarchical barriers through shared challenges, fostering mutual respect across all levels.
- Creative Problem Solving: Using innovative thinking to solve complex tasks under time constraints.
Signature Experiential Activities
We curate a mix of physically and mentally stimulating challenges tailored to your team’s fitness and professional needs:
- Strategic Construction: Tower Building or Raft Building to test resource management and delegation.
- The Trust Journey: Leader’s Walk (Blindfolded Navigation) to emphasize communication and guidance during uncertainty.
- Mental Reflexes: The Matrix or Human Puzzles to improve strategic planning and non-verbal coordination.
- Breakthrough Challenges: Walking on Fire or Bending the Rod to push personal boundaries and build collective confidence.
Logistics & Methodology
- Interactive Debriefs: After every activity, our facilitators lead a structured reflection to draw parallels between the game and daily workplace challenges.
- Duration: Typically 2-3 Days (Intensive).
- Full-Service Planning: We manage the entire experience, from venue selection (scenic resorts near Dhaka or beyond) to specialized catering
