Conquistar Catalyst Brazil Delivers GOALL! for Mettler Toledo

Football-inspired team building to strengthen collaboration and alignment.

Client Context

Mettler Toledo, a multinational leader in precision instruments and services, was looking to strengthen integration and alignment across teams from different areas of the business.

In a year shaped by the global excitement of the FIFA World Cup, the organisation saw an opportunity to leverage football's universal language to bring key teamwork principles to life in an engaging and relatable way.

To support this objective, Mettler Toledo partnered with Conquistar, Catalyst Global’s partner in Brazil, to deliver GOALL! — a football-inspired team-building experience designed to simulate the dynamics of high-performing teams.

The challenge was to create an experience that would:

  • Strengthen collaboration and communication across functions
  • Encourage alignment under pressure and constant change
  • Translate teamwork concepts into practical, memorable learning

Program Objectives

  1. Strengthen team alignment
    Create an environment where participants experience the importance of clear roles, shared goals, and coordinated action.
  2. Enhance communication under pressure
    Encourage fast, effective communication in dynamic and time-sensitive scenarios.
  3. Bring teamwork to life through experience
    Move beyond theory by immersing participants in realistic, high-energy situations that mirror day-to-day organisational challenges.

Program Design & Delivery

Activity: GOALL!! (a Catalyst Global partner product created by Conquistar, Catalyst Brazil)
Participants: 140 employees
Format: Football-inspired, interactive team simulation

First, participants were divided into teams and immersed in a fast-paced environment where they had to organise quickly, define roles, and adapt to constant changes — just like a team on the field.

The experience combined competition and collaboration, requiring teams to think strategically, communicate clearly, and make decisions under pressure.

Ultimately, what began as a game quickly evolved into a powerful reflection of workplace dynamics, where success depended not on individual performance but on alignment and teamwork.

Outcomes & Feedback

High engagement and energy throughout
The football theme created an immediate emotional connection, driving active participation from start to finish.

Stronger understanding of collaboration
Participants experienced firsthand the balance between competition and collaboration, recognising how alignment impacts results.

“It really reflects our day-to-day work… if we don’t communicate well, things simply don’t happen.”

“It’s competitive, but at the same time, you need to collaborate. That’s what makes the difference.”

Learning through experience
By placing participants in realistic scenarios, the program transformed abstract concepts into lived experiences — increasing both understanding and retention.

“We had to step out of our comfort zone and adapt all the time.”

“Very dynamic, engaging… it went by so fast.”

Clear leadership impact
Leaders observed immediate behavioural insights around team dynamics, communication, and decision-making.

Luiz Aleixo, Director at Mettler Toledo, shared:

“It was an extremely rich experience. We could clearly see how collaboration and alignment make a difference in results. This type of activity brings practical learnings that people can take directly into their day-to-day work.”

Key Takeaway

Ultimately, GOALL! proved to be a powerful way to bring teamwork principles to life through a shared, high-energy experience.

By combining the emotional connection of football with practical, real-time challenges, it allowed participants to experience collaboration, communication, and alignment firsthand — not just in theory.

As a result, GOALL! shows how thoughtfully designed team-building experiences within the Catalyst Global network can transform everyday behaviours and leave a lasting impact in the workplace.
