Corporate services

Hunter-gatherers have, by far, the best problem-solving systems available to humans*, so it’s not surprising that some of these systems have been creeping into business and management. This is not so much a case of consciously applying hunter-gatherer systems, as few people are aware of them or their value, but that when accidentally rediscovered in our culture they are found to be more effective than our traditional methods. These social systems promote survival and success in business just as in a group of Hunter- Gatherers.

We believe that in the future the most successful businesses and effective institutions will be those that have consciously employed these systems.

Corporate events - A general Introduction to the Stone-Age.

A fascinating, active and often hilarious one day team-building session in which staff work in teams to experience hunting and gathering co-operative systems. This includes many activities listed on the survival page and the opportunity to use hunting weapons, learn about wild food and medicines, build shelters and develop the skills of fire-lighting. These events can run over two or more days to increase team efficiency and give better opportunities to develop more effective Hunter-Gatherer social systems within a team.

These events can be held in the countryside or at any company venue.

We can also offer the opportunity for corporate groups to experience living wild in a camp built with the help of an instructor.

For everyone else we would recommend local accommodation and attendance during the daytime only.

“The Palaeoquest experience encourages team work through essential, practical activities in a unique way. I have rarely seen a group bond so quickly, people use their initiative so readily and so enthusiastically adapt to the demands made of them. Transferable skills by the gourd-full!”
