Seven Words
Ever heard the cliché, “It's not what you say, but how you say it”? The Seven Words jolt dramatically demonstrates this principle. You demonstrate how the meaning of a sentence changes as you emphasize different words. Later, you invite pairs of participants to explore this concept.
Lightning Decision Jam (LDJ)
It doesn’t matter where you work and what your job role is, if you work with other people together as a team, you will always encounter the same challenges:
- Unclear goals and miscommunication that cause busy work and overtime
- Unstructured meetings that leave attendants tired, confused and without clear outcomes.
- Frustration builds up because internal challenges to productivity are not addressed
- Sudden changes in priorities lead to a loss of focus and momentum
- Muddled compromise takes the place of clear decision- making, leaving everybody to come up with their own interpretation.
- In short, a lack of structure leads to a waste of time and effort, projects that drag on for too long and frustrated, burnt out teams.
Replace all open discussion or brainstorming with a structured process that leads to more ideas, clearer decisions and better outcomes.
When a good process provides guardrails and a clear path to follow, it becomes easier to come up with ideas, make decisions and solve problems.
This is why AJ&Smart created Lightning Decision Jam (LDJ). It’s a simple and short, but powerful group exercise that can be run either in-person, in the same room, or remotely with distributed teams.
