Gold of the Desert Kings

Convert activity into productivity, and maximise results!

Overview of Gold of the Desert Kings

Often activity is mistaken for productivity. If we’re active, we're getting things done, right? Not necessarily. A lot of this activity can go undetected until the results come in…and then it’s too late. We need to be sure that what we are doing is leading us towards the desired outcome.

Gold of the Desert Kings creates an environment where the difference between activity and productivity means life or death, not just success or failure.

But the exciting, colourful world within this learning experience is actually a parallel for the world we encounter every day at work every day - a world where planning, gathering and understanding resources and goal-directed actions, executed within a constantly changing environment, are the keys to maximised results.

Learning Outcomes

You will learn to:

Differentiate between activity that moves you away from your goal and productivity that moves you closer
Ask “What’s Possible?” instead of “What’s Required?” to break through your perceived limitations
Plan, prepare and execute - never losing sight of the objective - to deliver maximised productivity and results
Obtain, evaluate and apply information, adjusting your plan to contend with pressure and surprises
Permanently adopt a strategic mindset for any challenge; develop lasting habits of focused productivity

The Learner Experience

There is gold in the mountains, and it can be your teams - if your team can negotiate the hazard filled desert that lies in the way. This interactive learning adventure will challenge you to work together as a prepared, organised and focused team, because competition is fierce and time is limited. With pressures and limitations bearing down, you and your fellow adventurers have to cross the vast and perilous desert, collect as much gold as possible and get back to home base safely, and you'll need to get the most from every moment and decision in order to survive and succeed.

Be transformed from armchair tourist to an excited, motivated explorer; discover the importance of planning, preparation and execution; eliminate the frustration of ineffective activity and convert it into results-harvesting productivity - this is the real Gold of the Desert Kings.
