The Information Exchange
A dynamic team collaboration experience
The Information Exchange is an immersive team-building experience that begins with fast-paced, high-energy competition and evolves into a powerful collaborative challenge. Carefully designed experiential tasks ignite excitement, curiosity, and critical thinking, drawing participants in from the very first moment and sustaining deep engagement throughout the experience.
As the experience unfolds, teams quickly discover that success depends not on individual team performance, but on clear communication, trust, and the ability to share information effectively across teams. Each team has a vital role to play, encouraging active involvement, creative problem-solving, and collective decision-making.
Ideal for team-building and away-days, The Information Exchange highlights the value of collaboration, breaking down silos and reinforcing cross-functional synergy. The result is a powerful, memorable experience that mirrors real workplace challenges while leaving teams with practical insights they can easily apply.
How our Information Exchange activity works…
Each team is given a brief from a customer outlining Project Information Exchange. Teams start to plan and scope the various tasks required to successfully deliver a solution to customer specification and pitch their plans to the customer.
Once agreement is reached with the customer, teams move to co-ordinate and construct phase one of the project. The customer also has additional information which could earn teams more income, but they must communicate with the customer effectively to gather such information, and not focus entirely on the task. Teams at this stage think they are in direct competition with each other and tend to keep design ideas and solutions to themselves.
As the challenge unfolds, the customer’s needs evolve, requiring an integrated solution from all teams. Teams now need to work together to fulfil the project and to be successful, they need to transition from a competitive position to a collaborative one. Each team will need to revisit their plans, and share, understand and agree a revised co-ordinated plan, communicated across all teams in order to satisfy the customer’s requirements.
The simulation finishes with teams delivering their solution to the customer – a high-energy and fun close. The facilitators lead a review session based around effective communication and its importance in the workplace.
