Outback Theoretical Background

Includes downloadable information about the specific methods and research used to develop and test Outback.

Second Edition

Demonstrate the concept of team synergy with Outback, a challenging adventure simulation that focuses on team leadership, communication, consensus decision-making, and problem solving. Participants experience first-hand the advantage of working as a team when they realise that the results achieved as a group out-measure those of any one individual.

Treat teams to the exotic, eerie beauty of the Australian bush country.

The Scenario

A group of friends decides to take a hike in the Australian outback - without a guide. They’re confident at first, but soon every tree, shrub, and patch of ground begins to look the same. Panic sets in as they lose sight of the trail and realise they’re lost in the wild Australian bush.

Knowing it could be days before they’re found, the group must find a way to survive the elements with only limited supplies and the clothes on their backs.

Outback makes an especially effective training exercise for management teams.
