Are you SMART or CHEAP in choosing your corporate team building packages or team events?
Price vs Value in Team Building Costs
Do you wear the CHEAPEST clothes? Drive the CHEAPEST car? Eat the CHEAPEST food? Drink the cheapest drinks? Live in the CHEAPEST room? Use the cheapest cellphone? Employ the cheapest staff? NO?
Then why expect to solve your most expensive people problems, with the CHEAPEST solution?
About Cost Vs Value
Business challenges, conflicts and constraints, are costing tens of thousands, in loss of time, energy, and money. If it’s important, and you need to do a proper, effective, and sustainable job, it’s crazy to choose on price/cost alone!
Research reveals the typical company is losing around 10%-12.5%, and often more, of monthly total staff costs, due to conflicts/ invisible people challenges, and motivational / limiting leadership problems.
Cheaper is actually more expensive in every hard or soft business dimension you can measure.
The “cheapest” mindset approach creates situations where the organizational culture is seen as “cheap”, uncaring, & unfair. Talent, feeling unappreciated, leaves to the detriment of the organisational momentum, capacity, credibility, and cohesion.
A super-saving in costs and a huge loss in value. Seldom smart to go for CHEAPEST.
We help companies solve expensive, “people and performance issues”. We have extensive experience and expertise in People, Teams, Leadership, and Culture, performance optimisation.
Some clients have 2x’d-4x’d their results. Be wise, consider the spend as your INVESTMENT in people, and not simply a cost to be reduced.
Consider these issues, costing companies millions:
• Leadership ineffectiveness and negative impacts
• Negative organizational culture & values misalignments
• Conflicts & politics that reduce engagement and productivity
• Teamwork dysfunctions and service quality Issues
• Distrust, Racism, de motivation, and credibility issues
• Generational and diversity challenges
• Productivity, performance, and accountability, issues
• Talent attraction and retention problems; engagement falling
examples of smart value vs cost:
Over 35+years, we’ve helped many clients resolve their challenges, and dramatically increased their business performance and results…
They all received exceptional VALUE for their investment. Many times 20x to 100x value or ROI.
Some examples of smart value vs cost:
– Client IDT grew revenues from R200 Million to almost R800 Million pa. Invest=R120,000
– Client Oxbow/ Lovell Group grew from R30Million to R120+Million pa. Invest= R95,000
– Client G-Clothing Manufacturer sales doubled in 90 days. Investment= R50,000
Cheapest seldom delivers effective results.
The VALUE they received is immeasurable in all of the areas where they gained outstanding value, far beyond the minimal investment. How do you decide intelligently between good VALUE and cheapest COST?

What’s it Worth… The Real VALUE and Benefit, To Resolve People Challenges?
Just for a moment, imagine what your organisation could deliver and achieve, if your constraints, challenges, and issues were reduced. If your staff developed committed, positive, resilient, growth mindsets, that made them 7x more valuable, and delivered 2x to 4x results. What would that be worth to the team? Millions?
The question is simple… if you wanted a new Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, Porche’ or Ferrari, it’s senseless, and unwise, to expect that to get the full benefits and value, of a super high-quality resource for the cheap cost of a UNO.
“The Common Law of Energy Exchange”
There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person’s lawful prey.
It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money — that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot — it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.” – Wisdom of John Ruskin.
Savvy People Choose on VALUE… They Know Cheap is an Irresponsible Choice.
People who unwisely decide on the cheapest PRICE alone miss out on gaining the full value and benefits, and even risk damaging their existing culture and context.
I often see people spending more on the food, drinks, gifts, branding, clothes, and accommodation, than the highly experienced professional expert facilitator, who is tasked with transforming their valuable organisational mindsets, culture, relationships, and results.
So when you think you can’t afford the experienced expert … Maybe the reality is you CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO… because the VALUE proposition is just so good.
So the next time you are making an important decision like: stop the talent leak, enhance engagement and happiness at work, or improve your organization well-being, resilience, relationships, staff GO mindsets, teamwork, organisational culture or results, be astute with your decision.
Choosing cheapest, defies a common-sense law… of fairness, value balance, integrity. and the Common Law of Energy Exchange.
Consider the value and benefits that everyone will gain alongside the cost/investment in people development, well-being, growth, collaboration, and the greater success of your team, organization, and financial performance.
Choosing on cost, signals a complete lack of understanding, or commitment to real VALUE, sustainability & a true understanding of ROI’s.
If your CULTURE is important and valuable;
If your STAFF are important and valuable;
If your CLIENTS are important …
There are many occasions where the “cheapest” cost deal has not delivered the promised results.
In fact it’s even been the cause of greater heart-ache, harm, and disengagement… that’s created irreparable damage to company culture, credibility, team spirit, service quality, talent retention, collaboration, and trust levels.
So be savvy and choose on VALUE…not just on Price or cost.
GO beyond just fun and kiddies games team building.
Get serious about REAL success and become a REVOLUTIONARY WORKPLACE High Performance Team and High Performance Organisation (HPO). You’ll gain optimally, in the short and long run.
