STRATNAV.

StratNav is a dynamic, symbol-based simulation designed to sharpen decision-making, decentralised command, and team performance in any environment. StratNav (Strategic Navigation) is a portable, high-impact challenge that combines classic navigation, problem-solving, and strategic planning into an outdoor experience that goes beyond traditional orienteering or team-building. It is structured around real leadership roles, decentralised execution, and symbolic problem-solving—making it both scalable and deeply developmental.

STRATNAV OVERVIEW.

StratNav is a fast-paced, outdoor leadership simulation where participants take on strategic and operational roles to complete a high-pressure, mission-based challenge. Teams divide into a central HQ Team and mobile Operational Teams, working together to plan strategy, interpret clues, and reach revenue targets within a time limit.

The HQ Team sets objectives and trains the field teams, who then navigate to up to 20 grid points using maps, compasses, and radios. At each location, teams decode symbolic clues and capture Polaroid evidence of hidden leadership symbols— each tied to a monetary value with limited claims.

With radio-only communication and rising urgency, teams must think fast, communicate clearly, and adapt on the move. Results are measured through earnings, timing, and accuracy—delivering an immersive, real-world test of leadership under pressure.

Launch the Mission

HQ deploys teams into the field. Each group receives 20 grid references, a symbol guide, and tools to navigate and decode clues.

Identify & Capture Evidence

At each location, teams solve riddles, identify the correct symbol, and take a Polaroid photo as proof. Only 3 claims per symbol—move fast!

Stay Connected

​All comms must go through HQ using radios only. HQ guides, tracks, and adjusts strategy on the fly.

Navigate Pressure Points

Symbols carry different values. Each decision—where to go, what to prioritise—impacts your earnings and final standing.

Return to Base & Report

Teams must return on time to avoid fines. Points are tallied, symbols verified, and lessons debriefed.

Debrief Team Performance

Performance is assessed by revenue earned, evidence captured, and team cohesion. Who led with clarity, who cracked under pressure— and what can your team learn?

THE STRATNAV JOURNEY.

From preparation to performance, the StratNav Journey takes participants through a deliberate path of growth and mastery. Each phase is crafted to challenge assumptions, strengthen leadership, and translate lessons into real-world impact.

EVENT FEATURES.

plan

PLAN your mission strategically and adaptively. Participants form an HQ Team with senior roles including CEO, CFO, and COO. This team develops strategy, sets revenue targets, allocates resources, and briefs operational units on communication protocols, navigation, and decoding clues.

quality-control

EXECUTE decisively under pressure. Operational Teams use maps, compasses, radios, and Polaroid cameras to navigate 20 grid points. They decode symbolic riddles, locate hidden symbols, and capture photographic proof—while maintaining disciplined radio contact with HQ.

independence

LEAD with confidence and evidence. Each symbol carries a cash value from £50,000 to £1 million, with only three claims allowed per location. Urgency, penalties, and limited opportunities drive strategic choices. Teams regroup to validate photos and tally earnings, delivering objective, reviewable results.

StratNav immerses teams in a high-pressure leadership simulation designed to sharpen decision-making, decentralised command, and team performance in any environment.
