TEAM FRONTIER
Can Special Forces
training help in the
commercial world?
Nige went along to
one company’s
event to find out
T
eam Frontier is probably
not a name that you are
familiar with, but it has been
providing companies with its
own brand of team building
for a number of years.
The whole purpose of team building
is to improve how a group of individuals
work together, as one cohesive and
effective unit. Nowhere is this better
exemplified than in our Special Forces
082
January 2012
and, from the moment they burst into
the public consciousness, 22 SAS have
been held aloft as the model for team
performance. So, logically, if you want to
perform best as a team, then who better
to train you?
The founder members of Team Frontier
are ex-regiment; one of the guys spent
almost his entire 22-year Army career in
22, a feat which I don’t believe has been
equalled.
Contrary to popular belief, members of
Her Majesty’s SAS do not spend their
working lives wearing ‘the black kit’! Most
of the time they are in either civvies or
‘green army’ clothing, which is why the
attendees were split into two groups,
one in black, the other in typical camo. In
true Team Frontier style the individuals in
each unit would need to work together,
as would the units themselves, to be
successful in their mission.
