Shark's Den AI Team Building Activity

Use the latest AI LLM's in a Business Pitch Game for Corporate Teams

So here's the pitch, with a twist. It's time to face the Sharks, and this time your team has a secret weapon: artificial intelligence. In this cutting edge team building activity, teams form "Companies" and combine human creativity with the power of today's most advanced AI language models in hopes of surviving the shark's den, securing the investment capital, and being named the most profitable team.

We assign a mystery product or service to each Company, then turn them loose with the AI tools that are reshaping how the business world creates, markets, and sells. Teams collaborate, prompt, refine, and pitch in their attempt to win the biggest financial commitment from our VIP Sharks. Will the Sharks bite, or will they pass?

This is a fantastic corporate activity for sales and marketing teams, leadership, operations, IT, HR, and everyone in between. It's an exciting, low risk way for your people to roll up their sleeves with AI inside a real creative challenge. Unleash that entrepreneurial spirit, sharpen those AI skills, and dare to swim with the sharks.

How the Activity Works

The program begins by dividing the group into your predetermined teams (Companies). Each Company is assigned a product or service (that may or may not be relatable to your business) along with some statistics on current sales, production costs, and anticipated adoption in the marketplace.

Each Company is then given access to a curated toolkit of leading AI models. Think ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and a selection of AI image and short video generators. Teams must work together to craft a brand identity, marketing plan, sales forecast, and demonstration of the usability and potential customers for the product, all within a set time frame. The clock is ticking, the prompts are flying, and the excitement is building. But that's not all.

Each Company will also produce a 30 second AI generated commercial or infomercial to present to our VIP panel of business Sharks. From script to visuals to voice over, your team directs the AI and shapes the final cut. Will the Sharks invest, or will they be out?

Pitch games are met with enthusiasm by all types of teams, not just those used to selling ideas, and adding AI to the mix levels the playing field. First time users find themselves collaborating side by side with power users, and everyone walks away with practical, hands on experience using the tools that are quickly becoming part of the modern workplace. The challenge is highly collaborative and is a great choice for annual corporate events, innovation summits, AI upskilling kickoffs, or any team building initiative where creativity and connection matter.
