Last Friday, we decided to test whether our Quantum values held up outside the boardroom.

𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙖𝙘𝙚 – 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙀𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣

Armed with clues, competitive energy and varying levels of navigational confidence, we set off on a morning that quickly proved two things:

1. Pride is a powerful motivator
2. Some of us are far more confident speaking our committees than to unsuspecting members of the public during mildly embarrassing challenges.

Across the course of the race, there were flashes of strategic brilliance, moments of very enthusiastic leadership, and a few creative interpretations of instructions (𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘧𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴!).

There were also tasks that required a level of confidence most of us didn’t realise we possessed until we were standing in front of strangers asking them to play along.

Underneath the laughs (and the public performances), what really stood out was how naturally people from different corners of the business worked together. There was quick thinking under pressure, genuine encouragement when clues didn’t quite clue, and a shared determination not to be the team that came last.
It turns out the same qualities that help us build strong communities show up just as

naturally when we’re racing through the city convincing strangers to help us win points.

Well-played, Team Quantum! Rematch pending.
