Collaborations
TM
exercises
are activities designed to demonstrate both the difficulty and the joy
of a group of people working together. The exercises are
deliberately simple in concept with the true difficulty in having a
group function as one team. These exercises can be used for team
building, to demonstrate team dynamics, to observe leadership and
communication styles, to perform research on teamwork, and also for
fun.
There are three exercises,
each with its own unique characteristics.
-
Maze - participants work
together to move through a simple maze to reach their goal.
The difficulty is that everyone is controlling the same object and
they must work together to reach the goal.
-
Pong - the classic arcade
game except that in this version, all the players on a team are
controlling the same paddle. Strong teamwork is required to
win.
-
Pattern - a group works
together to produce a picture based upon a palette of colors or
shapes. The end result is rarely what anyone envisioned.
In all the exercises,
participants use "clicker" technology to provide their input. In
the Maze and Pong exercises, participants only need to click on one
button. That, together with straightforward objectives, means that
all the work is in the teamwork. Deceptively simple, yet
surprisingly challenging. |
