Outline
Once participants were divided into four teams, Sir Colin Sugar marched in to deliver the brief: to source and buy a list of obscure items with a limited budget, using negotiation skills to get the best deals. Additional tasks were to be completed along the way to gain additional budget and demonstrate teams’ creativity and ingenuity. Time and project management skills were essential as teams negotiated their way around the streets of Brighton completing as many challenges as possible within the allocated time.
“Nick” and “Margaret” observers followed each team to provide insights and anecdotes in the nail biting boardroom showdown where the winning team was “hired”.
A videographer followed teams, and Tree London will enjoy the edited footage for years to come!
Who was it for
