FOCUS Adventure - Testimonials

Here's what some of our clients have to say about our programmes in 2010!

The universal studio experience was great but we didn't manage to explore the place. We had time for only a few pictures and shows. Perhaps we could have cut down on the ice breaker games in the focus office.
-NOL

The selection for food could have been better.
-Adeline, NETS

During the refreshment, only hot tea was provided and no water was to be found. I felt that it would have been better to have cold drinks or water on the standby as everyone were already feeling hot and bothered after the event.
-Cartus

Food selection was poor as we had expected cold drinks to be served after the team event.
-Sheena, Cartus

It will be good if the Lead Facilitators are able to tell participants if certain activities example e.g. walking with the wooden planks and pick up balls are not good for people who has injuries like. back problem beforehand. Participants are not aware what the impact can be like until they are doing the activities. Other than that I have no other comments. Overall the event was good.
-Bank of Toyko

I think it will be more fun if it is a overnight trip with more challenges.
-Ester

The food was could have been better. Although it was not your fault , the rain made it a tad disappointing. The Lead Facilitator Shan was amazing! The FOCUS Team was great as well. I would do this again!
-Laura Howard, ECI Telecom

The GPS didnt work well during The Geocaching Challenge! One section was closed, and we were not informed. Hence there was some time spent looking for it.
- Lion Global Investor

The videographer and photographer could have been better trained at taking motion pictures/videos.
- Volvo

It would have been better if everything was done at a slower pace, and a more orderly manner.
- Lion Global Investor

When the main activity was being carried out, it would be more polite if the rest of the Facilitators sitting at the back look a bit more interested as I can understand that they have been conducting the same activity many times and it can be rather monotonous.
-Vivien, DBS (Credit Operations)

The rope down Parkour should perhaps trained in two steps - one easy for training and one real one.
-Reiner Moritz, Bosch and Siemens

It would be nice to improve the indoor room conditions (size and cleanliness) and facilities (a proper break out area for tea break lunch).
-DBS (Credit Operations)

Maybe there should be an increase in duration and have more challenges along the way.
-DELOITTE

The shower was bad as the water flow was not very good.
-ARINC

I hope the toilets will be renovated soon.
-Singtel

For the final rafting, those not so fit might have really suffered.
-George Khoo, International SOS

It would have been better if the period is extended with more outdoor activities.
-Jovine Ho, Asia Pacific Breweries

Would be good if there was a comprehensive wrap-up after the rollercoaster exercise, learning points from the exercise ( from this group and previous groups), objectives of the exercise etc...It would definitely make the experience and learning more tangible in terms of takeaways...
-Cheng Shin Joo, UBS

The Downside was the frequent temperature change from moving in and out of the air-conditioned premises (sizzling hot outside) which gave me a headache.
-Singtel

The Blindfold Square activity was not very effective as everyone was blindfolded, resulting in some people giving up. As everyone was blindfolded, leadership opportunities could not be shown.
- Singapore General Hospital

As our group was too huge, it was inevitable that we may have made some felt left out while some others were championing the sessions throughout. But it was fun on the whole. Good efforts.
-Eileen Quek, Ops Manager, Knight Frank Estate Management

The training course was a little too short, hence there was not enough time to get to know everyone.
- Lye Zhi Hui, Work Pass Division, Ministry of Manpower

It would be better if the Lead facilitator was able to relate each activity to the real life situation.
-Florence Lee, Changi General Hospital

We did the program 2 years ago with your organization and there was some repetition in the indoor segment. In the future, you should avoid repetition and include other elements.
-Holger Roessner, Advanide

Maybe we can restructure the programme to tie in with the Teambuilding concepts (forming, storming, norming and performing) that were introduced at the beginning of the programme.
- Law Chee Kiang, Singapore Prison Services

During The Geocaching Challenge!, different group should be assigned to different locations to look for the items needed. That will make the group work together more efficiently.
- Lydia Yeo, Singapore Land Authority

It was unfortunate that the outdoor activities couldn't be carried out due to the rain.
- Frank Chang, National Trades Union Congress
