I have gone through many simulations and this was the best
that I have seen. I learned a great amount about my work
that will help, but more importantly I learned a great deal
about myself that I can apply immediately.

"You and your team have 20 light
years to save Earth from the attack of alien raiders and
the spread of a deadly disease. As part of a Starship and
squadron, you will have to avoid the swarming and powerful
raiders and the growing solar storms, while searching for
the bio-beacon technology. Choosing your equipment, you
set your course for Earth. You may stop on any of the planets,
bases or stars along the way to collect information…or
should you set a course directly for the blue planet?"
The Journey Home is an interactive,
team-based simulation that provides participants with an
intensive, powerful, fun and relevant learning experience.
It is Star Date 3000 AD, and a squadron of Starships is
engaged in a race against time. Each Starship is a team,
comprised of four to six players. Each team member has a
unique and valuable role to play, bringing his or her own
information and experience to the mission. The ultimate
mission is to save Earth from enemy raiders and to find
the technology to stop the spread of a deadly virus.
Participants are first enrolled in Star Fleet Academy Training. Upon graduation,
the the simulation begins with a deadly, pressure-filled countdown. The teams must find the bio-beacon technology,
deal with danger in various forms, take advantage of unforeseen
opportunities and finally…save the Earth.
The Journey Home is never described as a competition between
Starships, yet the entire room erupts into a chaotic and frenetic
race to be the first to reach Earth. Challenges escalate because
data isn’t shared, resources are wasted, customer needs
are ignored, opportunities are missed, time is lost, trust
is tested and energies are misplaced. Only at midpoint of
the experience do some Starships develop an understanding
that they must work together by combining efforts and sharing
information. The simulation concludes with a startling end,
in which the real enemy is defined and the overall mission
is accomplished.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of the Journey Home experience, participants are
connected emotionally and intellectually to the following
learning outcomes:
- The true power of teamwork
- Alignment to mission
- The importance of communication
- Empowerment
- Customer focus
- Creative innovation
