A substantive keynote was the starting point of the program and gave participants a theoretical framework for looking at the dynamics within their own board.Outward Bound then translated those insights into experiential assignments in nature. Away from the familiar meeting table, participants were challenged to collaborate, make choices, communicate and reflect on their own behaviour and that of the group.Because group dynamics is not only something you can talk about. It is something you can experience, investigate and strengthen.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"e-image-base e-default-img
