Goa City-Wide Hunt for Nuvama by Korelate Learning
In April 2024, Korelate Learning conducted a unique and innovative team-building workshop for Nuvama during their annual conference in Goa. With a team of 150 members, Nuvama sought an adventurous yet safe activity to make their conference memorable. Korelate Learning proposed a detailed and immersive “Goa City-Wide Hunt,” which aimed to blend cultural exploration with team-building exercises while ensuring safety from the summer heat.
Nuvama faced the challenge of creating an engaging and innovative team-building experience for their annual conference attendees. Over the years, the team had participated in numerous activities, making it difficult to find something new and exciting. Additionally, the scorching April heat in Goa required a careful balance between outdoor adventure and participant safety.
Korelate Learning devised a comprehensive plan for the “Goa City-Wide Hunt,” designed to immerse participants in Goan culture while fostering team spirit. The strategy included:
- Pre-Engagement Activities: To build excitement and team cohesion, we initiated pre-engagement tasks via a digital platform before the conference. These tasks, ranging from enacting popular Bollywood sequences to fitness challenges, created a buzz in the office and set the stage for the main event.
- Team Formation and Roles: Participants were divided into 10 teams, each assigned specific roles such as Leader, Navigation Officer, Operations Head, and Safety Officer. This structure ensured effective coordination and safety during the hunt.
- Safety Measures: Aware of the high temperatures, we arranged for Tempo travelers equipped with coolers, sunscreen, and wet wipes to keep participants comfortable and safe. Our team conducted a thorough reconnaissance of North Goa to set up the experience, ensuring all logistical aspects were in place.
- City-Wide Hunt Execution: The event kicked off with a briefing in the hotel conference hall, where teams received necessary equipment and instructions. The hunt included visits to diverse locations such as beaches, markets, churches, and museums. Teams solved cryptic clues to uncover historical facts and participated in local activities like trying Goan cuisine, dressing in traditional attire, and making the local drink Urak.
The “Goa City-Wide Hunt” exceeded expectations, providing Nuvama’s team with an unforgettable experience. Key outcomes included:
• Enhanced Team Spirit: The pre-engagement activities transformed the office atmosphere, boosting enthusiasm and collaboration even before the main event. According to a client representative, “It changed the atmosphere on the office floor; teams wanted to complete their tasks before logging into their systems.”
• Cultural Immersion: Teams enjoyed a unique exploration of Goa, engaging with the local culture and history through interactive tasks.
• Safety and Comfort: Despite the heat, our meticulous planning and safety measures ensured that participants remained comfortable and hydrated throughout the event.
• Positive Feedback: Participants returned to the conference hall with numerous stories and a heightened sense of teamwork. The session concluded with a fun video recap and special gifts for the top three teams, leaving everyone with lasting memories and big smiles.
The workshop not only achieved its objectives but also demonstrated the importance of teamwork, effective task prioritization, and the value of each team role. Korelate Learning’s innovative approach and detailed planning made the “Goa City-Wide Hunt” a resounding success, providing Nuvama with a team-building experience that will be remembered for years to come.
