Chocolate Sensation
This challenge is a favourite with everyone and not just for the sweet-toothed. Not only will the delegates have to work hard, but they also EAT CHOCOLATE!
Teams must create a box of original chocolates within a limited timescale and budget. They must also design the packaging and a marketing strategy along with an advert to sell their Chocolate Sensation.
The objectives of the challenge are to stimulate creativity and thinking, and encourage more ideas, adaptations and innovations. The event will also demonstrate the value of group effort, budgetary control and the most important of all, have fun as a team. To close off the day the teams have the opportunity to eat their creations or take them home for prosperity.
All teams are invited to browse the supply shop to see what ingredients and packaging supplies are available and to check prices. The team must then decide on a theme and design for their chocolates and buy necessary ingredients and packaging from the shop. At this stage we can also incorporate a company theme or message which needs to be carried through the exercise.
Teams must make sure that they spend their budget wisely. Spend too much money making the chocolates and the business won't make any profits, spend too little then your chocolates may not be desireable or sellable.
The finished products will be judged on quality, profitability, originality, effectiveness of the marketing plan and most important of all, the taste.
Presentations at the end of the session can be hilarious and a great end to a perfect team challenge.
