House that Jack Built is not only the perfect icebreaker to get people into teams, talking and working towards a common goal, but also a phenomenal tool to test work process, structure, and the team's real ability to communicate and trust one another.

It is a completely scalable process that can work for teams of 4 to teams of 400 at a time. It is an incredibly fun way to teach the value of different personality types and at the same time give teams the tools to work together in a range of different situations.

It works in hierarchical, self directed, market-focused, organic and virtual team environments. It is a robust, quick and effective teambuild to start the day or use after lunch.

What the team will experience?

The House that Jack Built is a powerful ice breaker. The process is cleverly facilitated to enable groups to connect with each other and at the same time make meaningful links back to the workplace. Teams look, learn and laugh at themselves as the process unfolds.

The key ingredients to the success of this project are planning, communication, role clarification, delegation of tasks and teamwork.

This project is a great equaliser as it does not matter whether you finished school or have twenty seven degrees behind your name. It is a great assessment tool as delegates see their abilities in action and realise just how important it is for them to see what they see, and be able to communicate this clearly.

The process is a 3-part one where delegates:
  1. Experience  a real life challenge
  2. Analyse their approach
  3. Apply their realisations in the workplace.

This is normally an indoor excercise which uses Lego models as a basis for the process. The Lego models, whilst colourful, intricate and fun to create are just a high impact means to an end.

  • The ability to plan and prioritise work
  • The ability to lead and motivate a team
  • The ability to approach tasks using a system or team performance model or process
  • The ability to communicate and trust
