This exciting challenge promotes elevated associate performance, innovation and being agile by getting participants to work together to solve a challenge. The challenge begins by walking the group into a prepared room with a series of grid pattern mazes on the floor. Teams race to find the exact route through the maze as fast as possible. The total evolution of enabling mastery across participants' varied roles is dramatically demonstrated in the minutes ahead. Participants are given limited instructions, which are simply to get from the start to the finish as fast as possible. The only rule is that they cannot talk. The Course Correct Race process has produced 200% to 400% time performance improvements and dramatically shows teams how to work better together in the business world.
