Smart Meetings


Just got the September issue of Smart Meetings, one of my favorite industry publications. Several great articles on teambuilding including one titled, "Team Building, Smart Meetings-Style" by Hunter Holcombe about Smart Meetings own team's teambuilding Scavenger Quest with our own Frank Price. Last lines: "what did we all learn from this experience? We certainly woke up the next morning feeling like we had the best team in publishing." That's what we like to hear. Our teambuilding events are about as much about team bonding as team building.

For great ideas on teambuilding and planning your next meeting, check out Smart Meetings magazine.

Green Art: TeamBuilding Unlimited Goes Green

Everyone is talking about going GREEN. Well, we offer a teambuilding experience that not only talks the talk but walks the walk. The Ultimate Green Art Experience does just that!
I'm a big recycler, and I know many companies are, too. That's why Murder on the Menu/TeamBuilding Unlimited decided to add The Ultimate Green Art Experience to our list of teambuilding activities. We can bring in our own recycled materials, or we can use materials “found” at your worksite. Either way, this is a great way to build teams while being aware of and respecting the environment.

What is the Ultimate Green Art Experience? Utilizing Recycled Materials, each team will use communication, problem-solving and decision-making skills to create a customized, collaborative innovative Green Art Project. Each "masterpiece" will reflect the Company/organization, agenda, theme and the Team. This unique "green" artwork may be a new logo, trophy, banner, collage or some other work utilizing recycled materials.
The Green Art Experience is great for leadership development, new product launches, teambuilding, and strategy retreats-and is good for the environment. This activity is also great for fundraisers, special events, tournaments, and rehearsal dinners.

Key factors about your company will contribute to the success of every project. Each participant will take an active role during the pre-construction period and leadership during the construction phase. Each team will utilize many of the hidden skills and talents of the team's participants, to ask and answer the right questions and make intelligent suggestions to design and build a successful project.

Every project is unique and customized for your company. Whether it be centerpieces for your dinner, a banner for your company walls, a trophy for winning a competition or art to take home and share with others, we will work with you to choose the best recycled materials to select for your teams to fashion into an something creative for your company.

ZS Associates Build Bikes for Kids at the Giants AT&T Park


Thursday dawned foggy and damp, but even the cool Bay area fog couldn't dampen the energy of 100 ZS Associates participants as they put together 26 bicycles at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. The Charity Challenge: Bikes for Kids yielded 26 bikes for needy kids. Rick Uribe of Catholic Charities received the bicycles for Family Support Services in Santa Rosa. Some bikes will be given to children now, and some will be held for holiday gifts. But the day for ZS Associates didn't end there. Murder on the Menu/TeamBuilding Unlimited had also created some fun teambuilding games before the Game. It was a great day and the group was certainly up for the Charity Challenge!
