Something New

Something New, Something Totally Unique
From Team Building to Business Development—
TIRIAN in Bali press release 2

Something “bigger and better”: the perpetual conference organizer’s conundrum. Fortunately, there are still plenty of unique ideas out there for those groups who think they’ve “done it all”.

An innovative company has caught the attention of conference organisers. This company—Tirian—specialises in designing exclusive personal and group development events for conference and incentive groups. They combine creative ideas with a sound educational approach in their Third Dimension Programs^TM to ensure conference experiences are both dynamic and relevant. Team building events, keynote presentations, seminars and workshops – all programs are themed and integrated for maximum impact. Each of Tirian’s exclusive programs is tailored to cater for the range of client groups they deal with. Their Justified Fun^TM Recreational Programs, for example, are designed to motivate and inspire groups, at the same time as providing key learning outcomes according to the needs of the client.

In their work throughout Asia, Tirian has created selected Cultural Adventure Programs^TM , which capture the exotic colours and textures that can only be found in this region. Having a long-term base in Bali has allowed them to explore the magical heart of the island of the gods, and provide incredible culturally rich experiences.

Director Andrew Grant says, "By taking advantage of the natural features of Bali, we are able to run programs that are rich and diverse. Program participants have the chance to experience different ways of thinking and relating through dramatic cultural experiences combined with exciting mental and physical challenges." Conference and incentive groups end up taking away a much deeper appreciation of the Balinese culture and, simultaneously, a much deeper appreciation of themselves, their group and their organisation. Such experiences are always, in the participants’ own words, “unforgettable”, “spectacular in every way”, and even “life changing.” (National Bank)

Another attractive feature of Bali is the spectacular landscape. Tirian has also designed a series of “Adventure Challenge” programs that take advantage of the fabulous beaches, mountains, jungles, and rivers. Rafting, trekking, cycling, sailing activities are utilised as a basis for an exhilarating team learning experience—and there’s even golf and tennis programs for the sports enthusiasts.

Interactive Presentations and Workshops form the basis of the company’s Strength to Strength^TM Educational Programs. These programs extend conference learning opportunities through dealing with issues such as Communication, Behaviour Profiling, Leadership and Team Learning. The Integral^TM Developmental Programs ensure that any learnings are effectively integrated back into ‘real life experiences back in the organisation.

Even the sceptics have been blown away by the impact of these integrated events. Markus Windhofer—the Australian Director of Business Development for the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline—obviously appreciated the unique and professional team exercise he chose for his national conference group. As both a conference organiser and program participant, his comments are a valuable source of information about the programs: “I have always approached team building with a degree of trepidation & cynicism, however I was extremely impressed with Tirian’s program: from the scale to the principles around which the activity was developed."

Certainly worth considering for next time … when you just have to come up with something new, something totally unique!
