Description: |
For a German IT service provider delivering IT workplace management solutions to distribute SW applications on different technical platforms (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS) I designed and facilitated a team-building workshop for the Product Owner team.
Thus, I split the assignment into two parts: (1) personal appreciation and motivation, and (2) solution-focused exercises to identify the next steps (with LEGO Serious Play). Part 1: Personal Appreciation and MotivatingTo open communication and to get insights on personal motivation we did the Super-Hero exercise: each PO introduced herself metaphorically as a superhero figure and reflects the colleagues as superheroes. This part on the personal motives and engagement was closed with the Management 3.0 Moving Motivators exercise. Part 2: Solution-oriented exercisesIn four levels, we identified solution criteria and the steps needed to achieve them. These levels were divided to individual and group reflections. LSP-01 Individual model: „Imaging the Future I“ Each participant was asked to build a LEGO model according to the questions: „Image, you collaborate in your team optimally. By which criteria you would identify this ideal state?“ Then each participant used her model to shared her individual insights and thoughts with the group metaphorically. LSP-02 Shared model: „Imaging the Future II“ In this exercise, the participants were asked as a group: „Agree on as many common characteristics of the optimal future you see in the models. Build with these elements a shared model reflecting the commonalities.“ „What will YOU do to accomplish this state/these states?“ |
