How is Outbound Training Conducted?
Outbound Training - OBT is a training methodology based on experiential learning and adult learning principles conducted primarily in an outdoor environment away from familiar settings like a trip to a green countryside with natural terrain, trees, rocks and hills.
Outbound Training includes variety of learning experiences in form of games and actvities that include a mix of outdoors, adventure, team building and management games delivered in a offsite environment by a certified outbound facilitator.
Outbound Training involves an informal environment, surrounded by nature and tranquility, people become more natural and reflective, paving the way for a complete and effective learning process.
Achievement, performance and behaviors during outbound training games are reviewed through a process of discussion called debriefing, to identify behaviors that enhance performance or lead to failure or decreased performance.
Strategies are formulated to deal with factors that hinder, and these strategies are then put to use in the activities that follow, to test their effectiveness and ultimately help the participants learn to change behaviors or processes back at work.
