Corporate Information ©Copyright 2011 FOCUS Adventure Pte Ltd Page 5 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 OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE 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. Adventure-Based Experiential Learning 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. Evaluation Evaluation up to Level 3 based on Kirkpatrick’s Model can be conducted to measure the effectiveness of the programme and its impact on participants. Corporate Information ©Copyright 2011 FOCUS Adventure Pte Ltd Page 6 LEARNCENTIVES OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE Adding A Learning Element To Incentive Trip For Corporate Teams An 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. Includes • Destination research, • Booking of sir tickets, hotel accommodation, Land transport • Itinerary Design, Logistics supply, Meeting venue setup Some of our partners Corporate Information ©Copyright 2011 FOCUS Adventure Pte Ltd Page 7 FOCUS Consulting OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES Scenarios Chances Timeline Windows Plans Resources Trends Threats Megatrends Futuristic Convergence CHANGES Behaviors Actions Directions Strategy People Process Programme Place UNIQUE PROPOSITIONS Branding Process Patents Brands Marketing Market Leader SYSTEM THINKING Personal Mastery Mental Models Shared Vision Team Learning (Adapted from the Learning organisation) Structure Infrastructure Relationships 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 option 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 the 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 success. Unique propositions are processed opportunities. An opportunity that evolves into an idea requires effective communication. Not paying attention to how these ideas should be presented. Systems are an integral part of our lives. We trust black boxes that we have little or no comprehension of as working principles. Every corporate environment creates its own systems that sustain it running. Only the right systems will yield desired outcomes.

I am impressed by the dinner seating.. - Catherine Yap, Diageo The activities proposed and planned had been useful for team-bonding, thinking out strategies as a team as well as including some fear factor challenges into the games as well (a la-Mousetrap Tower). In many real office situations, fear of failing ad-hoc projects/tasks is always present, like our fear of the mousetrap snapping and hurting someone. But the successful building of a tower using just mousetraps is akin to have successfully complete a project. Excellent facilitation by Dean & the FOCUS team! :) - Phua Chen Chen, Pfizer On behalf of RP and ITSDV, I will like to say a big "Thank You" to the FOCUS Team for an excellent teambuilding session last Thursday. We really enjoyed ourselves and hopeful we can get to do so again next financial year. - Derrick Chua, LTA It has been a wonderful new FY kickoff event for the GA team.
