The Quest for the Flexible Golden Fleece

... and so it began. Wide eyed with anticipation,
Columba, Dorado, Tucana and Aquila groups greeted the
Change Managers at the entrance to (FSM) Flexible School
of Management in the barrow of Ryde, deep in the (FFD)
Forest of Flexible Dreams..... ...A few hours
previously these brand new FLL's were spread far and
wide across this huge country, but now they had finally
come together to share their experiences and move
forward on their quest - but this time as a team. But
before this could begin.....

The FLL's wondered at the beauty of the Flexible
Learning Land. The vast expanse of blue sky reflected in
the shimmering lake. Ducks floating by as the trees
swayed gently in the breeze. They stood there beside the
Wizard carved in stone and wondered what magic lay ahead
....the yellow brick road...

as they gazed in awe at the yellow brick road, they
notice suddenly that the Wizard carved in stone has an
envelope in it's hand (and a lolly too). You reach for
the envelope, and opening it discover a clue directing
you down the yellow brick road in search
of...............

...the Wizard of FLL Oz. The clue pointed to the action
learning path - the path with support and challenge
combined. They knew then that this was the path that
would help them to find what they were looking for. The
FLL Lion was looking for courage at the end of the road,
the FLL Tinman sought a brain and the FLL Strawman
sought wisdom. Each was seeking without the qualities
they needed to support them through the turbulence of
leading an organisation into the Land of Flexible
Learning. They were cheerful, excited and happy as they
set off down the action learning path to the yellow
brick road that would lead them to the Wizard of FLL Oz.
Little did they know that around the corner lay
frustration, obstacles, disappointment, personal
challenge and stress...

'Our characters are called to the small hamlet of
'McQuarry' in the distant and new land of South Ways.
The FLL leaders of Dorado, Tucana, Columba and Aquilla
with the support of the CM's have called together all
the group to answer the challenge of the FLL Oz Wizard.
Each person can bring along a companion from the
'mentor' clan to give wisdom to the search. Search!,
what search you say? The quest to find the 'flexible
knowledge' crystal ball. A ball of mythical and magic
powers, guarded by the 'On-Line' creatures, whose life
is devoted to the protection of the crystal ball. They
will only relinquish the knowledge of the ball to people
from the 'believer' clan, but will fearlessly protect
the knowledge from those that wish to destroy it. If
you locate the crystal ball, you must show to the
'on-line' creatures that you are a believer or they will
destroy your mind with their stare of 'disbelief
destruction!'. How do the FLL's find the magical crystal
ball? The FLL Oz Wizard has left clues in the tiny
hamlet of McQuarry. The minds of the FLL 2002, must
come together to find and work out the clues and then
begin their search for the puzzle maps that piece
together the location of the magic crystal ball. The
puzzle maps are spread wide across the many lands of
Australis and there is a clue in each country
surrounding and including New Ways. The journey of the
FLL's is thrawt with danger, both from the environment
and the hostile tribes, such as the 'disbelievers' and
the feared Critiks tribe. In order for the knowledged
to be gained in time, before darkness falls over the
land, the FLL's must split and search the various lands
in order to locate the clues that will show the way to
the magical crystal ball. Once each locates their clue
within their assigned land, (if they survive their
periless journey), they must once again meet in the
hamlet of 'addalayed' and work out the location of the
ball!
