How It Works

Teams create their own Front Page of the news, designed to reflect aspects of the organisation. Witty headlines, hilarious stories, pics, daily funnies, gossip column, adverts, additional sub-headlines and photos in features categories such as Money, Sport, Travel etc. Large A1-sized boards, Polaroid cameras, basic props and arts and craft materials are provided to ensure everyone is engaged in some aspect of this fun, business relevant project.

To provide a business-relevant context, the activity is positioned so that teams have to ‘fast-forward into the future’ and create the front page of their newspaper dated a year from the date of the event. Each team’s headline story and features have to give a positive, retrospective take on, for example, how successful the organisation has been over the year, what key milestones have been achieved etc.

Who It’s For

Hold The Front Page is ideal for teams and groups from across all organisational and functional levels, e.g. leadership teams, operational teams, project teams, sales teams, as well as multi-disciplinary, cross functional teams and groups. This creative, specially-themed, experiential team development activity also works well for large conference groups with a limited time slot and event space restrictions.
