The MotivAction Team

This current event concept allows participants the chance to express their creative side and how they feel being part of their organisation. It encourages employees to reflect on their role and purpose within their company and how key messages translate to them as individuals, their teams and their customers.

Joined by an experienced artist, each team will be shown how to draw a specified main subject using a structured drawing technique. They will then be encouraged to personalise their picture and create a setting using business drivers and competitive factors. The end results may reveal interesting messages or hidden talents, but will certainly provide fresh perspectives and a forum for open and constructive conversation.

In a blaze of colour and energy the Conductor dramatically enters and takes command of his new colourful orchestra.
