Collaborate, Communicate and ?

And all those good things they tell you to do at work!

No, seriously. Those really are good things and we certainly have been practicing a number of them. Being divided into 4 sub teams, we each get to go away and work individually on our projects, but to get new perspectives and diverse insights our Sunday evening meetings as a whole team to deliberate and discuss our projects have been of huge value.

Being a part of Sub Team 1, we’ve put on our visionary glasses and have been strategizing far into the future… pretty much the same as reading the future in a Turkish coffee cup!

And what’s everyone else been doing, if you’re wondering….

Team 2 works very closely with us as we share the same client. They've been locked up in the basement most of the weekend writing process documents. I guess they’re working on a secret spell book.

Team 3 ran some pretty interesting knowledge workshops over the past two weeks where they got to do a lot of “ idea-ting”. Talk about thinking creative under pressure.

Team 4 hosted a ‘Young Entrepreneurs workshop’ where they got together some enthusiastic and as the title suggests young entrepreneurs to network and gather some new ideas for their businesses. 

Yesterdays Sunday evening meeting was the last one we’ll have on this assignment and I’m going to find it hard to go back to traditional meetings after this experience. What with coming to meetings in your shorts or track pants, walking in with your beer or glass of wine, running through the agenda over many fun discussions, sharing ideas and experiences and then wrapping up with getting presents!
