Product Description

Collaboration Vs Competition - What should a team''s strategy be? In this activity participants will discover that competitive spirit works only up to a point but it is collaboration that actually builds success. As the game develops, it becomes apparent that working towards a common goal yields far better results. The activity revolves around a profit maximization objective. The game offers lesson in collaboration both within teams as well as across teams. A glimpse into Win Win The activity consists of 5 rounds. If you like, the 5 teams could be given names that reflect different departments or functions in your organization. The game works well for intra-departmental collaboration as well as inter- departmental collaboration. The 5 teams are arranged around a large loop and the exercise requires the participants to collect balls from the central loop as well as from other teams. These balls represent organization profits and the challenge in the exercise is to maximize profits. In a variation to the game, you can defuse the competition between teams by combining the profits earned across teams in each round. In such a scenario, the teams will have several opportunities over the 5 rounds to improve the overall profits for the organization. This will highlight the benefits of identifying a common goal and collaborating rather than competing to achieve the highest possible score/profit. What will the group learn from Win Win? * To need to rise above individual goals * Divergent goals are counter-productive for the organization * Collaboration between teams can take the organization forward but if teams compete for limited resources it is detrimental for the success of the organization. * Reflect and judge for themselves the current state in your organization: 1. Where is this competitiveness happening in our organization right now? 2. Are there projects right now that would benefit from more collaboration?.
