Team Building

Questions that we answer professionally: Group make-up (male/female ratio, age, occupation(s), fitness

level, handicaps?) Size of the group (some types of activities are limited to

smaller groups) Time frame for event (a 30 minute activity is a lot different

from 3 hours) Budget (events range from 60.000 AMD to 900,000 AMD and

up). Does every person need to participate equally? Is this a competition where a team will "win" and others will

not (many activities can be structured where everyone wins-- or has the potential to reach a specific goal).

Time of day (does the activity happen first thing in the morning, during or after lunch, during dinner, after dinner?--- this does make a difference)

Do you want a debriefing session, and can the team building company do this?
