ADDING VALUE - 20 minutes

Value is added if participants: understand customer requirements, think outside the box, think logically, change, implement decisions. There is an option to introduce negotiation and competition.

NAME YOUR PRICE - 20 - 25 minutes

The group has to make money by: gathering information, generating and assessing options, making and implementing decisions quickly, evaluating their efforts. Planning to use time and resources effectively is paramount.

BACK TO BASICS - 10 minutes or less!

A short sharp activity which demands planning, organisation, quick work and coping with the unexpected, including very different views about the 'obvious'. At first sight it looks so simple, but it is so revealing!

IMPROVING PERFORMANCE - 50 minutes

This challenging activity builds on either 'Tunnels' or 'Name Your Price'. There is nowhere to hide. Effective participants will; observe others, present open and honest views, offer personal comment and guidance, discuss sensitive issues, give and receiving feedback and improve their performance there and then!

TUNNELS - 30 - 40 minutes

The brief is not easy to interpret. Besides having to clarify their task, participants need to display a full range of teamwork skills, particularly communicating, building on ideas and problem solving if they are to achieve their goal.

MAKING A STAND - 60 minutes

What are participants' real skills, interests and abilities? How can they add value to a business? Participants have to crystallise their knowledge and understanding of themselves, link their strengths together and present their conclusions in a business context.

PERSONAL PIZZAS - 4 - 5 hours

A very personal but simple assessment and planning tool for use in Career Development Workshops but not for Assessment. Through individual and group work participants gain an insight into their life, past and present, and use this to shape their future.

35 MINUTES - 35 minutes

35 Minutes is an in-tray exercise that uses computer, 'fax' and paper. The key is to identify the big issues and avoid the detail - but it's so tempting! Participants work on 35 Minutes as individuals.

Thanks for the MTa Select, we used it yesterday and it proved to be exactly what we required! It was very well received by all and we are very impressed with its ability to bring out the best (and sometimes the worst) in people!

We have found the MTa Select an extremely effective tool in assisting us in identifying suitable candidates for the police service - it now forms an integral part of our Recruitment Assessment Centre - and has been well received by our own staff and candidates themselves
