When the hotel into a "team spirit" in enterprise access, whether there is cause for concern?
When you read this blog entry, please take a moment to add your comments. I am particularly interested in reading response team from the resort to social management and directors of hotels and resorts.
A few years ago, one of America's leading manufacturers of bleaching an interesting TV commercial wearing clothes with matching identical twins. TV announcer asked:
"You see the difference?"
The only difference is that each uses a different pair of bleach. Announcer to remind the team-building issues in some of the confusion in the industry I am.
Team building is everything?
We have explored ad naseum that, because they have established a number of recreational and social activities of the company to sell its services, confusion, "team building." The hotel has acquired behavior. For example, the Australian hotel to start selling the "team building for their business guests" of the X - Box. Whether the company in Canada, the same thing with the Wii. I think that these activities are great energizers for the break but it is misleading for the hotel market play, "team building" them.Next, they will dust off the old things Ms. Pac-Man machine and marketing ranks as the elf. *

The hotel too far in an attempt to generate revenue?
Now, some hotels are taking things further. As far as I know, many hotels in September after the sharp decline in revenue experienced in 2008. Luxury hotels have particularly large effects of American International Group, the double blow. I have my work posted on the blog incentive travel sector support in the hotel. The hotel is wise to try to create as much as possible from every customer and more revenue. However, I believe, some hotels and resorts have taken things too far.They locked up, by providing independent consulting and event planning services directly competitive external service providers.
Some properties in Canada to send the social director, entertainment, and sports leadership staff to the local community college for a semester, evening classes for skills. After that, the hotel will be listed as "team building provider" signs. This also occurred in other countries?
The nature of the services and even some brands, if they are honest team-building consulting firm. Think of it as such. Any reputable hotel waiter to send over a semester or a mistress, night school, community college cooking classes, and then claim that they have acquired a professional cook for the staff? It would be very misleading, it will never happen. However, some properties are opposed to doing it their "team building" products.Would not it be more prudent approach is to establish non-exclusive for the hotel, and team-building consultant, to provide customers with partnership, "the real McCoy?"
Typically, the hotels provide these services, far below what is an independent consulting firm to be charged in order to maintain a viable business. What is more concerned about is that sometimes, some hotels do not provide those services already know the cost just to win business in the fierce market competition. The hotel can do this. They earn from their room reservations, food and beverage, meeting room rental revenue at most. Them from the "team spirit", entertainment and event planning generates a bonus. How can such a photo?
Apple Apple compare?
Sports and leisure activities, leadership and staff have many advantages. Their energy levels are usually high. Best able to involve them in groups and active.
My goal is not to lay down their hotel staff. On the contrary. Overall, I found that most of the hotel entertainment staff to be smart, optimistic and full of energy. Should be good at work, strong people skills and positive attitude is essential. In short, they add tremendous value to greatly enhance the experience of business and leisure guests.
Let us dig a little deeper, social and recreational leaders, although the directors have many advantages. There are some limitations. What kind of training do the leaders of a director or social needs? Some resorts hire high school or university students won the event in the summer of their staff. Some students get access to the leading 2-year community college in. Some do not recreation. They only work in maintaining the resort.
Here are some typical entertainment leadership courses:
- Introduction Leisure / Entertainment
- Program planning
- Become a good leader
- In advanced computer entertainment / leisure
- Park area and facilities
Some programs also include a semester of courses leading group. This is a very basic course, a focus on leadership through recreational activities. Of course, some people work and business skills transfer to the environment, but the team did not prepare graduates to lead the business meetings and business-friendly exercise. Some programs include courses in marketing 1 semsester. Others do not. Have no financial, accounting or economics courses. The objective of the program is to produce leaders not to leisure business leaders.While the training is really ready to graduate to run special entertainment, social networking, sports programs it provides:
- No business understanding
- A bottom line orientation
- Not complicated, and sometimes irregular groups and organizations to understand the dynamic
Unless they have their own entertainment business, a typical leisure activity will host the lack of commercial experience. They can report back, very simple exercises, often using leading questions from the leaders can set up and nothing more. This could be for high school students basic leadership program is ideal. It is not enough business leaders.
In contrast, a professional business consultant who is the facilitator usually has:
- Graduate degree (usually business degree)
- Business experience
- 1, through the accounting, financial bottom line of understanding of economics courses
- In-depth skills training, to promote diagnosis and treatment of complex teams, groups and organizations in the effective power
An experienced business consultants will also bring in a table in a variety of industry experience. He or she will be able to respond immediately, "" not just "reply leaders proposed guidelines" based. They will also be able to dig deep and rich business case library, to help participants and team building between the daily reality of day to day management of a bridge.
Let us return to the original problem. Yes, the company should be able to perceive the difference between the skills of the facilitator to set professional and leadership skills training for entertainment, some basic facilities. If you are having trouble spotting the difference, our blog entries 2 may be helpful:
Sometimes, companies can not detect differences in price based on rigorous supplier selection team building.
Model with a number of commitments
In the Middle East, a consulting firm founded in resort or hotel property next to the team-building center. This is the shape of things?
The model solved the portable convenience of a combination of professional quality control problem. Downside is that it may lock professional consulting firm and host who has no budget for the construction of the detailed structure of the hotel property. Team building consultants will eventually become the hotel's staff and a serious decline in the potential benefits? I believe that this is our job to.
Baseline
The bottom line is you get what you pay for. Do you really want to trust your team of people who:
- May or may not have completed high school and / or university?
- May or may not know how to read financial statements?
- Has spent 10 - 15 years, organized recreational activities?
If your goal is to have fun for your team and get them to work together to improve the ability of the World Health Organization has upgraded their skils may fit the bill recreation leaders to promote a program of 1 or 2 "acid." If an organization is to redesign their company, sales or marketing strategies or with serious challenges and complexity of the business team dynamics, the use of short debriefs can answer simply will not cut it.
1 semster promote skills courses do not build, professional consultants or professional chef business enabler. To mislead the hotels and resorts to create the impression that they are team-building to provide comprehensive services? I believe it is. What do you think?
* Pac-Man is back! I have to eat my words!
I write this on Thursday. Because it is one of my more controversial works, I do not intend to release next week, until it, because I want my colleagues and I in the hotel contact with some feedback.
Last Friday, the elf 30 anniversary celebration, Google on its Web site features music and sound effects complete with elves.
They must anticipate me. Hillarious. You can actually play the game Google. I made my first attempt at 5200 points. This is very interesting, it brings my memory ... but it is not team building.
- Google's 30th anniversary of Pac-Man game, and some crazy driving
- Official PAC - MAN 30th anniversary of the destination
