CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT

Open and close the process.

Either checking-in or checking-out is a simple way for a team to open or close a process - symbolically and in a collaborative way. Checking-in/out invites each member to be present, seen, and heard, by expressing a reflection or a feeling. Checking-in emphasizes presence, focus, and group commitment; checking-out emphasizes reflection and symbolic closure.

LEAD AN EFFECTIVE AND CLEAR MEETING

IDOARRT is a simple tool to support you to lead an effective meeting or group process by setting out clear purpose, structure, and goals at the very beginning. It aims to enable all participants to understand every aspect of the meeting or process, which creates the security of a common ground to start from.

ENERGIZER: MAZUNGA

BOOST A GROUP'S ENERGY

This fast and loud energizer is highly effective for boosting a group’s energy in a very short amount of time. The group stands in the circle and a loud yell of the sound “Maaaah…” is sent around the circle. It gets louder and louder as it travels around the circle until it gets all the way around and ends with a thundering, collective “ZUNGA!”

MASH-UP INNOVATION

COLLABORATIVE IDEA GENERATION

Mash-ups is a collaborative idea generation method in which participants come up with innovative concepts by combining different elements together. In a first step, participants brainstorm around different areas, such as technologies, human needs, and existing services. In a second step, they rapidly combine elements from those areas to create new, fun and innovative concepts. Mash-ups demonstrates how fast and easy it can be to come up with innovative ideas.

REFLECTION SESSION

EXPRESS THOUGHTS ABOUT SHARED EXPERIENCES

The purpose of reflecting as a team is for members to express thoughts, feelings and opinions about a shared experience, to build openness and trust in the team, and to draw out key learnings and insights to take forward into subsequent experiences. Team members generally sit in a circle, reflecting first as individuals, sharing those reflections with the group, then discussing the insights and potential actions to take out of the session. Use this session one or more times throughout a project or program.
