Based
on a non-linear race format, the Microsoft
Corporate Challenge is contested across
five to six stages, each demanding a combination
of physical and mental activities.
From
running, cycling, rowing and trekking, to
light engineering tasks, cracking codes
and negotiating board games with a twist,
the event challenges teams to push themselves
to the extreme and work together as a unit.
Each team will consist of seven members
out of which at least two members must be
women and one a part of the senior management
of the organization.
Speaking
on Microsoft's association with the Corporate
Challenge, Microsoft COO Doug Hauger said,
"Microsoft has found the event to be
a great platform for demonstrating and inspiring
people to translate their potential into
achieving real goals much like our 'people
ready' business software. No other event
exemplifies the importance of people and
teamwork more than the Microsoft Corporate
Challenge and we are happy to continue our
association with the event till 2009".
The
Microsoft Corporate Challenge has been conceptualized
and is managed and produced by Sports Media
Limited and DNA Networks.
Sports
Media Ltd MD Prem Bhatia said, "With
ICICI winning the inaugural event, and Standard
Chartered winning the second edition, this
year is going to be tougher and far more
competitive. The course design has taken
us six months to finalize and will reward
the physically able, mentally astute, and
companies that have good strategy and are
completely cohesive as a unit."
