Joint adventure

Article Abstract:

UK contractors are sending their management teams on partnering management training courses, to build on their knowledge of working with other companies on a project as partners. Midas Construction sent 100 managers on a course, at a cost of 15,000 pounds sterling. The courses were run by Dove Nest, and candidates are taught basic survival skills, such as map reading, fire building and problem solving. Role-play is encouraged and the group is split into teams to simulate individual firms, which then have to work with each other to perform tasks and make a profit.
