- Employee development firm Repario Ltd., created the Building a Dream team-building program. During the four- to six-hour program, participants build bicycles for a group of “customers,” who, unbeknown to the Building a Dream participants, are actually underprivileged children from the local community. At the end of the program, participants are joined by the children as they receive their new bikes, along with their own helmets and locks. The Building a Dream program can be conducted on-site or in a conference facility for all sizes of groups anywhere in the country and is run in conjunction with the nonprofit organization Bikes for Tykes, which has been refurbishing old bicycles for underprivileged children since 1987. The program is designed to improve the performance of teams by emphasizing leadership, communication, collaboration, creativity, and quality.
