Build a Bicycle Charity Teambuilding with ANZ Bank
Biking Singapore has once again fulfilled our objective of combining Team building elements with Charity all in 1 program! This time round the company who benefitted from our Build-A-Bicycle Charity Teambuilding is none other then ANZ Bank.
With a clear focus on wanting a unique and team bonding team building session, the organisers put our team to task to organising an unforgettable experience for the well seasoned management of ANZ Bank.

Sporting their signature blue, teams from ANZ Bank walks into Alkaff Mansion with great energy of excitement and of course a thirst for water with the hot weather. Starting with a short tea reception, our facilitators could feel a great energy radiating from the participants who eagerly asks us for what's to come! Surely we had to keep their curiosity at bay as we answered in mystery by pointing at the bicycles at the activities area.
"We are going to be cycling!!!" shouted one participant while some other cringed at the thought of cycling at this weather. We couldn't help but let out laughers as we see our participants getting tickled with the prospects of what is to come!

Kicking off the session was a round the table ice breakers to get our participant warmed up for the afternoon. There was loads of laughers and applause as participants shared much of themselves through the team bonding ice breakers.
Having so much fun seeing colleagues who are usually serious and stern at work, one participant said "If any one walks in on us, they would never guess that this is group of Management Bankers! We look like a bunch of teenage children out for an excursion!" That statement brought out even more laughers and we agree! At Biking Singapore, we want to bring the inner child in every participant because that breaks all barriers and allows us to walk into your life. That's how we introduce team building to you and make it work! |

With a series of team building challenges, teams are brought through a series of fun and team building oriented activities. Learning the importance of working as a team and communicating at the same level, we allowed participants to see the objective of the team building challenge clearer. It's without to say, a team is only as strong as the weakest link and only by ensuring that all members work together as one solid wall will the team be able to perform! ANZ Bank has proved themselves worthy of this saying as we see team members work in sync and overcome our challenges without faltering. With the team building challenges completed, we see participants gel and build up a team rapport stronger than before they entered the doors of the function room. That surely is a view all team building facilitators would love to see at all our events!

Moving into the cool evening breeze, teams are issued with the main challenge of the day. Building Bicycles to which they would need to decorate and sell (since they are seasoned bankers and sales man/woman) to their panel of judges! With that objective teams begin to spit into groups of Marketing, Engineering, Designers and we even had teams who had scavengers making full use of whatever potential items they can lay their hands on! (we thank Alkaff Mansion for gracefully loaning our participants the use of their landscaping plants and kitchenware, heehee)
The whole session was full of life and energy as participants worked in teams to ensure the objective and creative juice was always flowing. Participants showed great brain storming skills as they came together pitching in ideas on what their bicycle design should be. With a concrete plan in hand and a desire to emerge top of the challenge, teams begin putting plans into action as they dished out responsibilities to each and every members.
We had to applaud participants from ANZ Bank as though they work as competition, we saw a lot of sportsmanship in them. We had members from other teams who went around helping other teams who had difficulties putting the bicycle together. This was team spirit at the best! We were certain to put this in our team debrief at the end of the session as we wanted this key element to be locked in as one of their key team building objective.
Of course we had participants who had never held a tool in their hands shouting out desperate call for help. "How does this metal thing work!" , "Where is the ON button on this thing?" , "Can I pay you $10 bucks to get this stubborn nut into the bolt". where just some of the tickling outburst we heard through the evening.

With the completion of the tasks at hand, teams begin to present and market their bicycles to the panel of judges. Teams really pulled all tricks out of their bags as they recruited children from dining tables and staff from the diner to boast their image! We had great speakers who brought tears to our eyes as they shared on their vision of their bicycles. No wonder these guys are the top management in the bank!

As the sun sets on this cool evening day, our panel of judges has announced the result on the team who wins the Build A Bicycle Charity Teambuilding. Teams rounded high-5s through the group and we even had a ANZ cheer from the winning team! With the closing, we announced that the bicycles would be donate to our local charity home, Sun Love Marsiling. We drew cheers from the teams as they know their handwork will be rewarded with an opportunity to return back to society.
We thank ANZ Bank for this opportunity for us to deliver the perfect team building session for them and at the same time, help our children by giving them a gift of kindness.

As tradition follows, Biking Singapore starts of the teambuilding fun with some Warmers with the participants. As the participants work up a sweat, we suddenly felt an overcast looming over us. Greatest fear for us was rain! And it seems the skies are ready to open up on us at this very moment.
Hoping to beat the rain, the Warmers quickly ended and the participants moved on to collect their bicycles still in good spirit till the first drop of rain came down. Unfortunately we had to hold the teambuilding session and usher the participants to shelter and wait out the rain.

Not without plan, our facilitators kick in to gear to engage the participants about the teambuilding session. As the participants listened on intently on the stories and history of the tour, the rain lightened as quickly as it came. Not wanting to miss out this much-anticipated ride, the team quickly agreed that they want to move out amidst the light drizzle! Motivated by the team’s enthusiasm, the facilitator kick into action making sure all the participants gets a poncho and of course, 1 more group photo before we move of for the teambuilding session!

The 1st stop was the Johore Battery where a replica of the canon was created to allow future generation to marvel on the size of this defense structure. The participants though tired and wet, was amazed by the size of the canon and even climbed on to the canon for a photo opportunity. Other sporting individuals even when on to challenge themselves to lift up the 80kg ammunition shell!

Finally before we left, a teambuilding game was played to allow teams to win for them drinks to recharge for the 2nd leg of the journey. Gladly, team 1 lead by the most charming manager we have met won the challenge and was rewarded with the drink.
As we proceeded on the The Changi Chapel Museum, we saw strong never say die spirit emerging in teams as participants motivated each other to push on up the slopes. Each teams made sure their weakest participant was always looked after and we finally arrive at our 2nd stop for the teambuilding session. |

At The Changi Chapel Museum, an intern rewarded participants with a beautiful chapel which houses the original cross hand crafted during the WW2 out of a bombshell. The museum also holds an extensive exhibit and presentation of the WW 2 era and what POWs then had to go through. Without saying, this has to be the highlight of the tour as our participants learn and understand what the WW2 has brought across to Singaporeans and defenders from other nations.
As we left the place with humility and gratitude, we push on back to Changi Village to end off the tour through this beautiful estate.
The teambuilding session ended very well as teams gave each other pat on the back and words of gratitude for pushing through the terrain. We applaud their fighting spirit and genuinely hope they enjoyed our teambuilding program for them!
