Simulation
(Project Satellite)
Course Type: Training Course
This 90-minute experiential exercise will require participants to choose roles and responsibilities as a team. They decide how to decide on their approach to the solution. Groups work together to build an object with a complex set of deliverables and circumstances. They will have to communicate with each other while faced with limitations and constraints. After teams have completed the task, the larger group will debrief the exercise to gain awareness of key behaviors and understand what assumptions were appropriate.
Objectives
To engage in an experiential exercise that requires teams to build a model ‘satellite’ as soon as possible within the guidelines, roles, and constraints given
To develop a sense of teaming behaviors and group analytical skills under pressure
To become aware of personal behaviors in a group decision context
