The formation of a new team of persons coming from different businessareas, and even from other organisations, to take on a far-reaching projectresulted in the need to develop a training program that would create apropitious environment for interpersonal knowledge and promoteteamwork. But above all, it was necessary to clearly show the challengesand problems that we faced, which is the most novel aspect with respect toa training action. The experience with the Equilibrium Cone wassimultaneously gratifying and successful, given that it combined fun aspects(games and simulators) and operational aspects (specific work projects) thatsatisfied the objectives of both cohesion and efficiency, respectively.”Ricardo Alonso FernándezDirector of Corporate BankingGlobal Banking & MarketsBanco Santander Group

SIMULATION & GAMINGParticipants retain as much as 75% of the information obtained, becausethey «listen, see, ask and act»Simulation and games, used as learningdevices, facilitate the gathering of knowledgein a variety of scientific disciplines, makingcomplex realities easier to understand andcombining inter-related focuses. They helpunderstand dynamic contexts and are thusideal for the acquisition of systematic skills.Experimentation through games andsimulation enables knowledge to beintegrated and automated and is particularlyuseful when applied to improving abilitiesand even in transforming attitudes,something difficult to attain using othermethods.The game plays upon the more excitablenature of the participant and uses it as atraining tool. The game influences attitudes,improves relationships, encourages cohesionand team spirit and generates link networksamong the participants, creating affective The experiential learning cycle of Kurt Z.

I met Ricardo Zamora a few years ago. He presented a teamworkproject to us that we were going to love. The truth is that, due to beingnovel and atypical, I have to confess, when the presentation was overmy initial idea was to forget about it. However, we tossed the ideaaround and decided to send an elite group to take the training. It was ahuge success, a total innovation within our training system, and themost wonderful thing is that the team had a good time andacknowledged having learned about subjects as important ascommunication, teamwork, work systems, etc. Over the last threeyears, our entire team of managers and middle managers has gonethrough this training, with excellent results when applying the acquiredknowledge in their usual jobs.Antonio Mateo NavarroDirector of industrial relations and trainingLafarge

Participating in SYNERGY was an intellectual challenge for me due to thedifferent way of facing a known subject. The idea of breaking with schemesand not being anchored in traditional ones is perfectly clear. Learning todominate my natural leadership in order to adapt it to good teamwork wasanother good practice.Overall, an intense and very recommendable experience for people whowant to learn different methodologies.Jordi BallestéChief Executive OfficerAngelini Group
