Co-create your vision. Manage the future from the present.

This powerful  communication mechanism produces tangible commitment under dynamic pressure and against deadlines.

Initiative, passion and focus are just some of the essential ingredients that this teambuilding events brings into the mix.

The team produces a real newspaper which the broader organisation can read and measure them against. They get behind the process, take up the challenge and drive the change. They become actively focused to make the future intent a reality.

Morale rockets as the teams race to see who will make it to the printing press first? The adrenalin rush is almost unbelievable. They energise each other,  getting their copy proofread,  getting their advertising in place, not forgetting their "Dear Abby" column, before shooting off to get the latest scoop at a press conference or panel interview.

The end result is newspapers containing newsworthy articles depicting how teams interpret what they are reporting on. Features and articles could include actual occurrences in your organisation, the company’s vision, how to resolve issues in the workplace - all can be reported on and written about in 7th Edition.

This is storytelling on steroids.  A "must do" teambuild.

What the team will experience?
read more


Finally! An opportunity to express yourself in the press with complete freedom. In 7th edition, delegates will experience what it is like to operate in the world of print media, complete with editors, reporters, layout artists and photographers. Everyone works together as a team to produce a quality tabloid.
 
Teams will express their points of view by submitting newspaper articles, advertisements, and letters to the editor. Interviews may have to be conducted to get the story "straight from the horse's mouth" sometimes.

With the tight deadlines of the newspaper world, which team will make it to the printing press in time? Get your copy proofread, have your advertising in place, not forgetting your "Dear Abby" column as well as letters to the Editor. Your end product will cover everything that is found in an actual newspaper.

The news has at one point or another played a part in every one of our lives. Whether it is a weather report giving flash-flood warnings, information on presidential campaigns, or an obituary citing the death of a television personality, we crave the news.

7th Edition capitalises on this factor, but turns the negative sensation into a positive solution rush where teams and leaders learn to manage the future from the present, and jointly co-create their ideal scene. It's potent, book it today!

Why use 7th Edition
read more


Here is an opportunity to express yourself in the press with complete freedom. Energised fun, the freedom to create, express and engage with one another to manage your own future.

This product turns the boring "death by PowerPoint" conference into an interactive experience which raises understanding and connects emotionally.

The messages normally conveyed by a speaker presenting from the rostrum are absorbed nearly 4 times more effectively using this process.

7th Edition also serves as a very powerful survey tool as it allows you to read, see and experience what your people really are thinking, feeling and understanding.

If it is truly important to you that your people have a common understanding of where you are going, then 7th Edition is a must!
