In ibuild, teams are split into smaller groups with each participant assigned a specific role. Using simple building blocks, they must construct a model within a set time. The strict communication rules highlight the need for accurate language, active listening, and feedback to achieve a shared goal as one team.

iBuild
ibuild is an interactive team building challenge that sharpens communication and collaboration skills under pressure. Working in small groups, participants each take on a vital role in a communication chain. The goal is to accurately transfer information and build a model together, showing the power of clear instructions and feedback.
Description
Learning Outcomes
Ibuild develops critical skills for effective teamwork and interdepartmental communication. Participants see firsthand how clear instructions, active listening, and constructive feedback influence results. The structured setup demonstrates the impact of different roles and how everyone contributes to success. Teams learn to plan step by step, adapt strategies, and improve clarity under time pressure. The exercise mirrors real business situations where miscommunication can lead to costly errors. A guided debrief encourages teams to share insights, reflect on how these lessons apply at work, and build stronger communication habits with colleagues and clients. The result is a memorable shared experience that unifies teams.
