Strategy Amazing Race Event Concept
Strategy Amazing Race event concept draws you in
Do you want to experience an unforgettable adventure around the core questions of your organization?
If you answered yes, Muutostaito’s Strategy Amazing Race concept is your solution. With this engaging and fully participatory concept, themes that often prove challenging—such as making strategy concrete—are tackled in an insightful way that speaks to everyone.
The Amazing Race concept can be used to work with very different kinds of content themes, because the brilliance of the concept lies in how it is implemented. The themes are explored through various functional and dialogical tasks, using a wide range of methods that support learning and creativity, generating content for the theme at hand.
Tackling important matters through competition
The concept is a team competition, which brings a unique dynamic and drive to the method. It forces the teams to produce high-quality content on the competing themes, because the answers are scored and also evaluated by others. After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of the winning team?
A mobile platform guides the event
The event utilizes a dialogical game platform via a mobile app. Each team has a captain who is responsible for using the app, navigating through the game, and documenting the team’s tasks in the application. Scoring happens in real time, and teams can see their own points. The tasks are challenging and are designed to deliberately take teams out of their comfort zones. All tasks are based on dialogue, selling ideas, challenging others, and generating perspectives.
Creativity in the game
The methods include, for example, video, LEGOs, visual presentation, drama, or music. In practice, this could mean:
- ATELLIER: The task is completed by painting or drawing
- STAGE: A band stage, where tasks are completed by, for example, writing lyrics to a known song and performing it for others
- LION’S DEN: A pitch competition between teams
- LEGO: Using LEGOs as a tool for creative production
- STUDIO: Creating a presentation on a chosen theme and filming it
The event is always planned together with the leadership so that each task supports the shared understanding of the desired themes in the best possible way and enhances commitment to the desired change. The event can be held either outdoors, indoors, or as a combination. The tasks never require physical performance, nor is it a speed competition. At Muutostaito, we ensure that the logistics of the event run smoothly and that the agreed schedule is kept. The event can be organized for a very large number of participants, and thanks to good planning, we promise that the whole experience will run seamlessly.
All tasks are documented
The event is a fun and memorable experience, where everyone gets to fully engage themselves “in a positive way.” As a result of intense doing and shared learning, all documentation produced by the teams during the day is saved into the game system via the mobile app. This way, all insights and ideas are available for the organization to use and further develop after the event.
