 Cordelta has been featured in an article on extreme team building in the April 2013 issue of Management Today magazine. A team of 16 brave Deltoids participated in the September 2012 Tough Mudder event in Sydney. Tough Mudder bills itself as the “premier adventure challenge series in the world.” The group was organised exclusively by employees – unlike other businesses who rely on more formal team building. Managing Director Ken Gutterson was interviewed for the article. Here’s an excerpt:
“We find giving people freedom tends to unleash their potential. It’s surprising what people can do if you give them a
chance, and a lot of companies don’t do that,” Gutterson says.
The team that did Tough Mudder came back much more enthused. They raved about team spirit, how they helped each other through the course and how they build new connections as a result.
“We have a philosophy of helping our people be more successful, but we have to understand what interests them and what they’d like to pursue,” he says. Allowing employees to organise their own events and activities based on common interests is just one of the reasons Cordelta was number 7 on the BRW Great Places to Work list 2012.

 On the Weekend of the 17/18th of November the Burley Griffin Canoe Club (BGCC) held the annual 24 Hour Challenge to raise money for HeartKids Australia. With approximately 100 competitors including locals from the Australian Defence Force, Fire Brigades, Government agencies, Private sector groups and social communities, the 24 hour Challenge brings people from across all States and Territories across the country together for a fun filled competition at Molongolo Reach. Whether the competitors chose to compete in a team or solo they’re all trying to battle it out either in or on a kayak, canoe or stand up paddle board on a 4.5km course for as many laps as possible in a 24 hour period. For the last three years Cordelta has not only competed in the event, we have also put a lot of time, effort and funding into the sponsorship of this successful event. Justin Channells, one of Cordelta’s Senior Executives, has continued helping the BGCC to organise and run the event as well as using his Business Unit funds to assist in the sponsorship over the past few years and will continue to do so. Justin explains “Cordelta employees love to get a workout and help fantastic charities like HeartKids, this year the 24hr Challenge managed to raise $3,216. HeartKids do amazing work and with a few children in the Cordelta family with heart defects, the work they do has particular significance to us.” Cordelta will continue to have a strong involvement in the 24hr Challenge with the BGCC, with membership in the club increasing amongst Cordelta and quite a few Cordelta members already putting their hands up to help organise and sponsor next year’s event.

 Cordelta is moving forward with a plan to assist the sporting community by building brand new websites as local clubs look to gain a greater online presence. The sports media unit will be working directly with CutOrange, a social network for grassroots sporting organisations. Cordelta is building sites backed by graphic design experts and a top-notch security system, while keeping them affordable - something vitally important to grassroots sporting organisations. "At Cordelta we build and maintain websites for companies and government organisations for a living, so we can take that pain away and deliver on a professional level,” said Matthew Ryan, Senior Executive for Cordelta. Cordelta's sports media unit not only helps provide websites, but can also provide media services to sporting organisations and a number of other online techniques to share the news and reach their contacts in the right social media and web spaces, including CutOrange. It's all about the ultimate online web presence. "Cordelta's sports media unit understands that keeping your website up-to-date and relevant is not that easy," said Alex Belperio, Community and Communications Manager for CutOrange. "Not everyone has the IT skills and inevitably it gets left for one of the mums or dads to chip away at in their spare time." The websites will link to services provided by CutOrange – such as news and events – to help provide fresh, dynamic content for the sporting organisations and their website. It's been exciting for the CutOrange team to see such a great response to the initiative backed by Cordelta, with the first few websites already agreed upon and production underway. For more information see the CutOrange website or contact alex.belperio@cordelta.com.

"The National Health Performance Authority assumed responsibility for MyHospitals in July this year as part of national health reform measures, and will release its first hospitals report on the site later this year. The AIHW continues to work with Cordelta to develop the site under contract to the NHPA." MyHospitals was also a joint winner of the iAward in the eGovernment category for the ACT for 2011.
