What Roraima is about
Darwin, a project manager at Frontier Research Solutions, is handed a lofty assignment: coordinate a scientific expedition to the summit of Mount Roraima to set up a Harvard University research station.
Throughout the expedition, Darwin has to learn how to plan, lead and wrap up effective meetings, turning them into tools for coordinating the team, solving problems and making decisions. When unforeseen events threaten the mission, a good meeting is what makes the difference between a problem and a solution.
