iOpener, a transformational change consultancy has just started working with the Vodafone live! marketing team. They are doing this project in conjunction with Dunlop Brown who specialise in outdoor team building.

What made this event special was that it was held on a Thames Cruiser. Roderick Brown who organised the session said, "getting away from the office adds a different dimension to people's thinking. And the physical closeness has an impact on how fast the team develop."

Jessica Pryce-Jones explains that the team are a new team and are keen to make a fresh impact within the business. "Our role was to help people maximise their influencing skills through story telling. We ran a small event and this is being rolled out to the rest of the team. For us working on a boat is a whole new challenge but the effect on people's interaction was remarkable."
