Welcome to Miki Island, Where Teamwork Rules the Game
Get ready to level up team performance in this epic adventure!
Experience the Miki
Island Adventure
Picture this!
You and your team have just been rewarded with an exclusive end-of-the-year retreat to Hawaii for your exceptional teamwork. You board the plane with everything you need – sun cream, bikinis, and good vibes!
On board, you meet the world-famous adventurer, Grizz. As you soar over the breathtaking Miki Island in the Pacific Ocean, Grizz regales you with tales of her daring discoveries on the island.
Did you know “Miki” means “Quick & Nimble” in Hawaiian? You have to be lightning-fast to survive there!
Then suddenly, your plane faces technical issues. The rapid atmospheric drop knocks out everyone on board, and the plane crashes on Miki Island.
You’re awakened only to find your team the sole survivors.
Together, you must navigate the treacherous island jungle to reach the only rescue point, or everyone dies.
But time is not on your side – you have a limited number of days to reach the marine base on the other side of the island, and information is scarce!
The stakes are high, and danger lurks at every turn.
Only a strong team can survive!

Conflict Management
With so many possible strategies to survive, disagreements and conflicts within the team can happen. But how well can the team handle it?
Accountable Leadership
A lot of factors need to be considered to make sure the team makes it to the rescue point — time, resources, information, etc. And each member has a key role to play.
Inclusion

Virtual Collaboration
Video communication, multiple screens, different roles, and information sharing. Teams will see how well their virtual collaboration skills work!
VUCA Environment
The journey to the rescue point is full of challenges and problems. Will the team persevere and be resilient, or just quit?

Resource Management
The team will need specific resources each day to stay alive. Can they maximize their resources for the team?

EFFECTIVE TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Team members are not just colleagues; they’re mentors and collaborators, and every challenge is seen as a chance to grow and get better together.
AGILE WAYS OF WORKING
The team is open to new technologies and trends. They’re not afraid to experiment, surf through the unknown, and pivot.
SELF-ORGANIZED
The team takes ownership of their work. They set goals, assign tasks, and regroup to evaluate their results. Instead of being micromanaged, they self-regulate.
