Remote Sail Boat

By using the metaphor of a sailboat, teams can articulate what is working well and also, what is holding the organization back. Individually think about and note down:

What is moving us forward and What is Holding us back in as an organization or team.

Moving us forward: what's working for us, what's really good.

Holding us back: what challenges are we facing?

Non musical chairs

This game enforces the importance of SELF ORGANIZATION, COMMUNICATION, SIMPLICITY and TRUST

Self-Organized team is really efficient (no manager needed)

Team should find a quick and simple way to communicate (short verbal word)

The strategy has to be very simple (no time for thinking or organizing the team during the play)

Each member should trust other members (for taking care of the chair he left)
