Building Bonds Beyond the Office: Inside KPMG's Stellar Team Building Event by Fekra Events
Effective teamwork doesn’t just happen—it’s cultivated. Team building events allow organizations to strengthen collaboration, boost morale, and align team members toward common goals, making them a powerful tool for corporate success. Recognizing this, global consulting giant KPMG recently partnered with Fekra Events to create a one-of-a-kind team building event that was fun, imaginative, and impactful.
Curious how it all came together? Here’s the inside scoop on how Fekra Events worked hand-in-hand with KPMG to deliver an unforgettable experience for their teams.
Why Team Building Matters in Corporate Culture
Today, businesses like KPMG understand that teamwork is the backbone of any high-functioning organization. Team building initiatives break down silos, strengthen communication, and promote innovative thinking. Beyond fostering collaboration, these events also raise employee engagement and reinforce company culture, driving better performance across the board.
But the secret to an effective team building event? Creativity, customization, and innovation—all of which Fekra Events excels at.
When KPMG reached out to Fekra Events, they knew they wanted more than just a typical trust-exercise day. They wanted something memorable, futuristic, and creatively challenging—something that would ignite their team’s imagination while aligning with the company’s core principles.
That’s where Fekra stepped in.
The KPMG-Fekra Events Collaboration
A Meeting of Minds
Collaborating with KPMG wasn’t just about understanding their company values—it was about pushing boundaries to create an experience. Every design choice, from the event theme to the activities, was uniquely tailored to suit KPMG’s objectives and foster a collaborative environment.
Together, we arrived at a bold and unconventional concept for the event scenario—welcoming “alien guests” from the Andromeda Nebula. This wasn’t your average icebreaker or scavenger hunt. It was an innovative exercise designed to encourage creative problem-solving, teamwork, and engagement.
Participants were tasked with “translating” the key principles of KPMG’s “7-Star Strategy” into a format our extraterrestrial guests could understand. The challenge was clear—how do teams interpret messages using crafts, body language, and their imagination?
With a mix of humor, high-energy activities, and purposeful goals, this unique concept became the focal point of the event.
Planning with Purpose
Fekra left no detail to chance during the planning stages. To ensure success, we conducted in-depth research on KPMG’s goals, workplace dynamics, and corporate values. This groundwork informed every creative decision, from the alien-themed activities to the rewards system.
Key planning elements included:
- Customization: Each element of the agenda was designed to reflect KPMG’s culture and objectives.
- Innovation: Transparent, interactive touch screen cases filled with prizes added excitement and futuristic flair.
- Creativity & Fun: The activities, infused with humor and innovation, encouraged out-of-the-box thinking (a vital trait for KPMG employees).
By aligning the event scenario with clear objectives and team dynamics, we set the stage for a truly unforgettable experience.
From Concept to Reality – The Event Execution
Once the vision was established, Fekra Events brought the concept to life in vivid, technicolor detail. From the moment KPMG’s employees arrived, they stepped into an other-worldly experience.
Highlights of the Day
- Alien Connection Challenge
Teams were divided and tasked with communicating KPMG’s 7-Star Strategy to the aliens using only crafts, body language, and creativity. This encouraged participants to think collaboratively and adapt their communication skills to a whole new level.
- Interactive Prize Case
Adding a layer of competition, our transparent interactive touch screen displayed the winning team’s prize—visible but only accessible if their mission was a success. This added excitement and motivation throughout the day.
- Fun Meets Purpose
Humor, imagination, and playfulness made the activities enjoyable while highlighting KPMG’s core strengths such as innovation, teamwork, and strategic thinking.
The result? A day filled with contagious energy, laughter, and meaningful connections.
Impact and Feedback – What KPMG Had to Say
Immediately following the event, participant feedback poured in—and the reviews were glowing. Many praised Fekra Events for their ability to translate a corporate concept into an engaging and enjoyable experience.
Here’s what some KPMG participants had to say:
- “The alien challenge really pushed us to think creatively—it was a fantastic twist!”
- “This was by far the BEST team-building event I’ve attended. Can't wait for the next one!”
This feedback reaffirmed how team-building exercises, when executed thoughtfully, can rekindle workplace synergy and engagement.
The Role of Team Building in Corporate Success
It’s no surprise that companies like KPMG see team-building events as a critical investment. When employees feel united and inspired, they’re more likely to perform better, contribute innovative ideas, and remain committed to the organizational goals.
By integrating strategy with creativity—just like we did in the Andromeda Nebula scenario—team-building events can:
- Foster stronger relationships.
- Improve problem-solving skills.
- Align teams with the company’s broader mission.
- Enhance employee satisfaction, leading to reduced turnover rates.
