The Machine

<< go back to activities list


DESCRIPTION

An excellent way to encourage your group to think outside the box and to challenge assumptions. There is a machine set up on the floor/ground with 25 buttons that must be pressed in a specific order. A client has made an unreasonable request that the teams sucessfully operate the machine in 20 seconds or less. Teams challenge their assumptions and interpretations of the rules and may find out that they can satisfy their customer despite the impossible request.

TESTIMONIAL



"We hired The Greatness Group to help our staff collaborate, to think creatively and to move outside of their comfort zone. The activities and debrief discussions were relevant to these topics and highly beneficial for our group. I recommend Critical Pathfinders to organizations that are looking to enhance the performance of their people."
