The raw and unedited beginning to a work in progress 'Conplan Z''
“There are four main types of teambuilding exercise if the experts are to be believed. And why shouldn’t they be believed? It’s how they put food on the table. If they didn’t know what they were talking about, their families would starve. Well, okay, that may be an exaggeration but you know what I mean. They either know what they’re talking about or the rest of us are fools.
“Those types can generally be defined as communication activities, problem solving and decision-making activities, adaptability and planning activities, and trust-building activities, although I think it’s a bit of a cheat, adding problem solving and decision-making together. They feel like two separate categories to me. Still, who am I to argue? I’m no expert.
“So, leaving them as four categories, I would add a fifth super-category — zombie survival. Yes, you heard me right. I said ‘zombie survival’.
“Zombie survival has to be the ultimate teambuilding game. Except it’s not a game. The clue’s in the name, see? ‘Survival’. It covers all four of those activities I already mentioned. They’re all important. But when the zombies hit town, you gotta work as a team. If you don’t, you’re all dead. If you do — well, some of you might make it.”
