Citrix wants to send 30 of its staff on a team-building weekend. You have drawn
up a shortlist of options. You have to choose the best option. Things you should
consider include the practical training element, the fun factor, safety and
cost.

action-packed day! After an initial
team-briefing and training
session, teams spend the
morning practising their boat
racing techniques and planning a
winning race strategy. Then, it is
off to the races! Food, drink and
fireworks on the river, round off
the day.
