I. INTRODUCTION1 n the review of Organizational Behavior, a key component of an effective organization can be incorporated into four categories. The components are resources, composition, work design/role and process variables that occur. Especially for process variables, special training can encourage an individual to be a team player, meaning that this individual will play a more important role in the context of the effective organization [1]. Outbound training (sometimes called Adventure-Based Team Development, Team Building Training or Outdoor Training Programs) as one of the training methods, has been popular since the 1990s and has become a trend for human resource development [2]. Several studies have proven the impact of team building training in teamwork across multiple organizational / business backgrounds [3] [4] [5]. In the context of education, outbound training is also implemented to assist students in learning soft skills, especially in higher education. Some studies conclude good learning outcomes for students to absorb the content of team building training values [6] [7] [8] [9]. Since 2005, MMT-ITS has used the method of the outbound training program to its students. One of the learning processes that must be passed by MMT-ITS students is the new students must follow the series of activities Information and Orientation (I/O). The I/O activities are intended to make the new students of MMT-ITS faster to know the organization of ITS in 1 Gogor Arif Handiwibowo is with Departement of Management of Technology, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya, 60111, Indonesia.

In the I/O activities, there are sub activities called outbound that are experimental learning. The outbound sub-activities become obligatory for all new students MMT-ITS and become full of students to be able to submit a thesis proposal hearing. From the angle of organizational perspective, MMT- ITS has several models of organizational members. There is a board of directors, administration personnel, lecturers and students. Organizations can be called effective when each member can synergize with the indication of collective performance, positive synergy, individual accountability & mutual and complementary distribution capability [1]. Similarly, the MMT-ITS organization is also required to be an effective organization. On the other hand, MMT-ITS as one of the organs in the big organization of Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has the vision of its organization to be achieved. The vision of the organization is embodied in the organization's mission as a way of achieving that vision. The mission set forth within the MMT-ITS organization is a reference scale that must be pursued continuously to achieve. By evaluating the achievement of this organization's mission statement can be seen how the achievement of the organization (in this case MMT- ITS) in reaching its strategic competitiveness [10]. Generally, this paper is based on strategic management review and organizational behavior. The study will analyze the possibility hypothesis correlation between the objectives of an activity related to organizational treatment (in this case is an outbound activity) with an organizational mission that has been predetermined. It is necessary to see the implementation process of the established strategic formulation [11]. I
