Project Description
The Enigma Team
Alan Turing and the Bletchley Park Codebreakers, nine thousand people from every corner of the globe, became one of the highest achieving teams of all time due to specific strategies and techniques introduced by Commander Edward Travis of MI6. In this engaging and fully interactive leadership theater module, executive and high-potential students will explore the tools and techniques, the behaviors and skill-sets, that enabled the Bletchley Park Codebreakers to become the most efficient and effective team of high-achievers that few people have ever heard of.
The module places executive students squarely in the middle of the biggest crisis of the second world war – breaking the Nazi Naval Code – nicknamed “Shark.” Each student is required to actively participate in both the work environment and in the breaking of the code – two elements that demand extraordinary imagination, innovation, and teamwork. The result is an action plan for environment-building that will take your work teams to extraordinary new levels.
