A SIMULATION ABOUT TEAM CREATION, WORKING OUT THE RULES OF COOPERATION AND ACHIEVING A COMMON GOAL
The New Commons Game
- 1 - 1,5 hours (+ discussion)
- 14 + participants
Participants assume the role fishing companies owners, making a living by catching fish in a shared lake. As a result of the reduction of the lake’s resources and the risk of losing fishing opportunities altogether, the fishermen have to find a way that nevertheless ensures that they can continue to fish and earn a living.
The New Commons Game is a metaphor for an organization and how it operates in diverse teams with diverse people. The management of the fishing area proves to be an excellent opportunity for the participants to interactively experience the collaboration and its challenges.
Recommende for:
- Develop goals and strategies for collaboration within the board and across the entire organization
- Implementing changes
- Presentation of new directions of the organization to the teams
- Development of competencies and skills to lead teams in processes of change, conflict, decline in motivation and effectiveness of teams
- Increase motivation, effective goals achievement with a sense of personal and team satisfaction
Benefits for the organization:
- Understand the role of leadership in building team motivation and commitment
- Ability to develop strategic goals for the team and choose a management strategy to achieve them
- Building team relationships based on trust and common goals awareness
- Effective communication - how to use it to achieve team goals
I find the game interesting, requiring strategic thinking and illustrating in a non-trivial way the benefits of teamwork.
