Design and facilitation of organizational development
learning programme for companies in Singapore and Asia-Pacific
Our learning methodology is highly effective. Adventure-Based Experiential Learning
engages individuals/teams in challenges, stimulating them to reflect upon these
experiences critically, derive useful insight, and incorporate the results through a
change in understanding and/or behavior to the workplace.
Coupled with state-of-the-art outdoor facilities, FOCUS Adventure levels up each
corporate learning experience towards greater impact.
FOCUS on Objectives
While focusing on your programme objectives, we will pay attention to your
team's reaction to the recently implemented changes in your organisation.
Paradigm Shift
We aim to bring about radical changes and a shift in personal and
organizational belief systems and culture through our programme.
Application-Centred
Learning is transferred by linking the experience to actual work practices. All
participants co-operate to ensure that worthwhile ideas and feedback during
the programme be recorded, compiled and shared. Participants should be
adequately informed of related follow-up actions and their outcomes.
Meetings to review progress should also be scheduled.

Adults learn best when it is problem-cantered and action-oriented. The design
of our activities ensures full participation and lessons are drawn from the
learning experience.

LEARNCENTIVES
Adding A Learning Element To An Incentive
Trip For Corporate Teams
Incentive programme, usually include overseas leisure travel or a pampering resort
stay for staffs to reward them for good work performance.
Fueled by the growing need of organizations to continually train and develop its
people, these trips are now transformed into “LEARNCENTIVES” whereby a learning
element is included to drive more mileage out of a reward scheme.
The learning element is related to specific job or industry but conducted in a fun way.
Our learning programme is tailored based on clients’ specific needs and objectives.
Isomorphic framing focuses on matching a client’s needs, mind-set and objectives
with an adventure experience. FOCUS Adventure adopts this powerful framework in
all its programme in creating relevance and mirroring the experience to the client’s
industry and work processes. This is done through proper structuring of programme
and effective facilitation, which increase motivation and enhance transfer of learning
back to the workplace.
At the same time, corporate teams would be able to explore the destinations and try
out new activities. A free day or two to relax, shop and partake in other leisure
adventures are usually added to complete the LEARNCENTIVE trip.
We have led teams to outbound destinations like Bintan, Bali, Bangkok, Changmai,
Phuket, Taiwan, Malaysia, Shanghai and Japan where unique LEARNCENTIVE
experience are created.

FOCUS Consulting believes in building your capability to face the future. Our strength lies in
creating acute and relevant perspectives that carry adequate importance to create new paradigms
in organizations.
Future holds answers to all our queries, dreams, aspirations, etc. It is not an opti
to just wait for future to arrive. We seek to meet the future before it comes.
Opportunities are created and not chanced upon. While some believe in luck of
draw, we believe in creating the draw for ourselves.
Changes are inevitable. Even if we recognize this fact, it doesn’t guarantee
discerning what to change. Identifying the critical changes is imperative to succes
Unique propositions are processed opportunities. An opportunity that evolves in
an idea requires effective communication. Not paying attention to how these idea
should be presented.
Systems are an integral part of our lives. We trust black boxes that we have little
no comprehension of as working principles. Every corporate environment creates
own systems that sustain it running. Only the right systems will yield desired
outcomes.

Thank you so much for organizing & facilitating the offsite session @ Bintan Lagoon Resort. The games were
really fun and besides having a great time, all of us took away gems of learning (e.g. collaborate to achieve
greater performance; in times of uncertainty/darkness, trust your team members' advice when you need to
shoot; planning/strategizing is essential to achieve one's goals).I must say Tuckman's theory on structure of
teambuilding was well received - "Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing". We left Bintan Lagoon happy
and recharged for greater things as a Performing Team....On behalf of C&C Team, thank you so much !

Chew Wei Guan’s career journey was never far from services and passion. Served in both
private and public sector, the exposure has granted him numerous opportunities in interacting
with a great diversity of people. He was a financial consultant in AIA and while in CPF, he
managed requests and feedback from the public. Prior to joining FOCUS Adventure, he was
teaching in under the Ministry on Education. The calling from the outdoor impels him in
switching from teaching to facilitating.
Outdoors to Wei Guan is the best theatre for learning to take place at multiple sensory levels. His ability to
impel participants to invest greatly in the activities, striving to attain quality in both outcomes and their
relationship comes with ease to him. During facilitation, Wei Guan displayed great strength in creating
metaphors that are down-to-earth thus making the metaphoric transfer easily identifiable to the participants.
Equipped with teaching background, he is sensitive to participants’ learning needs by offering the right amount
of challenges to different types of learners.
He has conducted many successful programmes the following are some companies he has benefited, Nokia

I would like to thank you and the team for putting up such great team-building games and adventure for us that
the staff were willing to participate despite my initial apprehension. They enjoyed themselves very much and
would like to have more of such activities in future. On top of that, their bond between one another also got
closer. This was evident during dinner and today in the office. Thanks, once again. I look forward to working
with you again.
- Cindy, Fermat
Truly amazing time we had with FOCUS!! The impact of the teambuilding activities we did was much better than
expected!! Who would have thought that by climbing 10 meter poles at the risk of life and limb and only with a
harness between you and terra firma would produce such togetherness, but it did!! Thank you FOCUS, that day
marked a significant change for our organizations culture and environment!
- MUNDI
A big big big thank you to you and your team for putting together a fantastic team building experience for us!
Everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously and learnt a lot. Most importantly, we achieved our main objective
of building up team spirit and a bond among the team!

year’s one will have to be more exciting and more challenging!!

Isaac Peter graduated with an honors degree in Mechanical Engineering. Garnering skill,
knowledge and attitude in this field for 5 years, the duration provided wide exposure to various
aspects where he has experienced both Japanese and Western MNCs. Covering a span of
specialties like processes, production as well as developmental, the experience granted him
contacts with co-workers from operation to management level in acquiring creative cost effective
solutions. This has allowed him to appreciate various concerns at the different levels.
Carrying a passion for people, he radically switched in 2004 by exiting the corporate sector and took on the
challenges of leading a not-for-profit organization. His accelerated learning curve enabled him to develop and
expand two of the core programmes and it is still among the foundational programmes of the organization.
Noteworthy, Isaac has bridged strategic alliances among the Community Development Council (CDC),
Resident Committee (RC) and with other not-for-profit organizations. The alliances have given these
organizations greater visibility and reach into the community.
Constantly seeking for new opportunities, he started a distribution company dealing in natural products.
Managing the company broaden his perspective and deepened his insights. Regularly he is challenged by
tough decision junctions, managing clients’ expectations, sustaining the supply chain and invigorating staff
morale.
Venturing outdoors is where he seeks for challenges that are both physically and mentally demanding. His spirit
in challenging himself has drawn him to participate in running and adventure races, even adrenalin pumping
activities such as bungee jumping and off road mountain biking. He also enjoys scuba diving and is an
accomplished tennis and squash player and represents SAFRA in the Singapore National Squash League.
His wide range of experiences and exposure gives him the aptitude to understand and relate well with people of
all ages and experiences. As a facilitator, he is able to create openness among participants that lead to
immense sharing of useful insights. His amiable, upfront, witty and animated personality keeps the participant
engaged.
What our clients say about Isaac ...
"We have received many positive and very encouraging feedback on this training from all the
participants. The teambuilding challenges have had many positive impacts and these exposure have made
them (including me) to think outside the box and reflect themselves to be more effective at handling their work
as a team at workplace. I hope to see these energies in our employees to continue to make a change in this
company, though it is not that easy for a matrix organization. We like to thank you and your team again for the
great job ! The training has exceeded our overall expectations and we hope to work with you again in the future
for other training programmes."
