The connection between walking and enhanced creativity has a long history. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1889) wrote, “All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking”. New research has backed up what many have thought for centuries with data, quantifying the effect of walking on human thought. Researchers at Stanford recently found that walking outside led to almost 3 times as many creative ideas as sitting indoors.
One of the best ways to explore creativity is through building. Simple low fidelity prototypes can allow us to transform simple (and at times complex) ideas into something physical. In doing so we inevitably open a space for continuing to explore, reevaluate and iterate.
Have you ever been in the middle of a discussion with a group that is trying to reach a decision about something and realized that you actually don’t have much of a stake in what happens? Or, have you ever been advocating for a group to take things in a certain direction and notice that others (for whom the outcome will not be relevant) are arguing just as passionately as you are?
Many times when we are trying to make decisions as a group, involved parties care about the outcome, but at varying levels. This tool helps identify who actually has a stake in the outcome and allows a group to get perspective on which voice(s) should be a priority in the decision process.
Im Team spielend Feedback geben.
Get to know each other by sharing your personal universe
Get over your fear of public speeches and presentation by embracing the beauty of making mistakes.
This exercise is ideal for a team whose members don't know one another very well but can make it difficult to apply for a group with well known people. It provides an informal platform for individuals to share personal information and build trust.
What about using a bit of poetry? Imagine you and your team members as gardeners, and the team ways of working as your garden.
Plant a garden and use practices as seeds that you can put in your seed stock. Use a virtual (iKanban, wekan, Trello) or physical (post-its) Kanban tool to materialize this process. And when your garden is flourished, be proud of it and show it to your colleagues.
Le « World Café » est un processus créatif qui vise à faciliter le dialogue constructif et le partage de connaissances et d’idées, en vue de créer un réseau d’échanges et d’actions. Ce processus reproduit l’ambiance d’un café dans lequel les participants débattent d’une question ou d’un sujet en petits groupes autour de tables.
Anschließend läuft das Gespräch weiter.
Kurze Rückmeldung zur Übung im Plenum.
Die Teilnehmer erfahren, wie es ist, Vorwürfe mit einem ausgeprägten Sach-, Appell-, Beziehungs- und Selbstoffenbarungsohr zu hören.
In order to find creative solutions for complex issues, you have to create space.
