Dear Colleagues:
Get ready for the next evolution in
collaborative leadership and cooperative
teamwork. We’re excited to bring you the
new, third edition of Mars Rover Challenge.
A long-time favorite of trainers, we’ve
taken it to the next level. We’ve amped up
the learning into a more intuitive structure
to enhance your training experience, and
added tools to better prepare you as a
facilitator.
But wait, there’s more!
We’ve redesigned the participant workbook to more easily capture key learning points
and discussion topics, as well as adding new, individual activities that promote critical
thinking and reflection. We’ve also created a more compelling scenario for the activity,
incorporated multimedia into the accompanying PowerPoint slides, and introduced
the Collaborative Leadership Model as a guiding framework for practicing effective
leadership.
Your participants will love the heightened challenge and the fun of this experiential
learning game. And you’ll see teamwork and leadership skills improve in your
organization.
We’re publishing resources for developing great people skills. Thanks for choosing HRDQ.
Regards,
P.S. Learn more about

Bridging the Communication Divide
With the HRDQ Style Series Model serving as the
overarching framework of Bridging the Communication
Divide (the same model that is responsible for the
development of more than one million people), the
adventure starts when participants—a group of Peace
Corps volunteers—are dropped into a remote location with
a mission to build a bridge. Working in two teams, they
must use sound communication with each other and their
partner teams to complete the construction. But little do
they know their teams are made up of opposing personality
styles—and that’s when the real challenge begins. Get your
teams communicating better today!
