A questioning method for generating, explaining, investigating ideas.

One person rants for 60 seconds. The second person translates their rant into what they care about and value.

With a partner, find the 3 most unlikely / unusual / unique things you have in common with each other.  Each pair chooses one to share with the group. 

Each person describes how they are feeling in terms of a weather system.    

People take turns sharing how they feel and stating what they do when they feel the way someone else is feeling. 

With this energizer the idea is to introduce the topic of listening in a group that is going to work together.

In pairs count to 3. Then replace 1 with snap, 2 with clap, 3 with stomp

The 20/20 Vision game is about getting group clarity around which projects or initiatives should be more of a priority than others. Because employees’ attention is so often divided among multiple projects, it can be refreshing to refocus and realign more intently with the projects that have the biggest bang for the buck. And defining the “bang” together helps ensure that the process of prioritization is quality.

This game has been designed to help prioritize different ideas or items in a quick and energetic way without getting stuck in endless discussions and avoiding any kind of influencing. It is similar to 20-20 game as it will compare items in pairs.

When facing impossible task, are you ready to ask others for help? Do you see rules as limitations or opportunities?

3D Modelling is a physical process. Participants create a sculpture that represents their current situation and the emerging possibilities of their work and life.

The process prompts questions from four vantage points, allowing for 360-degree seeing and sensing of an emerging future. The power of the practice lies in participants relying on their hands, rather than on habitual ways of thinking, to discover new insights.
