Outbound Programs

A c t i o n Le a r n i n g Programs at CMD

CMD is recognized for its extremely powerful Action Learning Programs. The CMD OUTBOUND DIVISION focuses on developing, designing and delivering these outdoor Leadership and Team Building Experiential Learning Workshops.

ORGANIZATIONS today require Team Work as an essential ingredient for their success. Even with clearly predefined responsibilities, success is determined by the level of collaboration and interdependence among the co-workers. The dynamic nature of business today has further enhanced the need for an outstanding team work. The concept of STAR Team is rapidly replacing the idea of STAR Performer.

TEAM WORK, to us at CMD is a spiritual thing. In our programs we help groups achieve things that they shouldn’t be capable off – Simple plain team work. Team work generates energy, creates ideas, synergizes individuals, solves challenging problems and infuses a sense of camaraderie through trust. Team Work is a series of behaviors in a group that are complementary and mutually reinforcing.

CMD OUTBOUND programs facilitate demonstration of these behaviors repeatedly, reinforcing them with appropriate reviews, group discussions, solo experiences and by establishing on job relevance. This helps in achieving a certain level of permanency to the changed behaviors.

PARTICPANTS have had profound- even life-altering experiences in these programs. CMD Outbound programs focus on appropriately challenging the participants, placing them outside comfort zones and into state of dissonance where there is a perceived risk and where they must use their competence and changed thinking to regain equilibrium. Phrases like “life time experience”, “best training ever attended”, transformational experience”, “self discovery” and “stretching one’s potential” are frequently expressed during and at the end of our programs.

CMD OUTBOUND capitalizes on its strength in customization to provide these learning experiences to Business Leaders, Managers and Executives in the client organizations. OUTBOUND programs range from mild lawn / sporting Team Building programs like G.O.L.F to high end wilderness experiences like Leadership Adventures.
