How would you handle this actual request from Google?
“We need a teambuilding event for 350 staff in our NYC office.”
A traditional corporate retreat was out of the question. Too expensive and time consuming.
A totally unique solution was provided by Brad Hargreaves, CEO of GoCrossOffice.com
GoCrossOffice.com provides team and leadership development through “massively multiplayer online role-playing games” (MMORPGs).
You read that right.
Teambuilding by playing a game online.
Did I already lose you? If yes, you might be a dinosaur and you already know your fate.

Online gaming expert Brad Hargreaves, CEO of GoCrossOffice.com, was my guest on a live IATF Leadership TeleSeminar and over 150 people from around the world joined the call.
During this TeleSeminar we discussed the benefits of teambuilding combining virtual and real-world elements, especially games.
Brad shared specific lessons learned from his work with Google and other large organizations where hundreds and even thousands of people are involved in his online teambuilding training events using games.
In this TeleSeminar you’ll learn how massive online games teach important skills such as communication, collaboration and leadership.
Look into the future of team and leadership development!
