Replying to LO5098 --

Hi Barry....I frequently use the PDC(S)A card game...you know it? If not
let me know and I'll send it to you. The purpose is to help recognize our
processes in working together and with one another towards a common, clear
aim. The instructions are simple, it uses mathematics and I have yet to
see every group come up with the same answer! Let me know if you are
interested...Myrna

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Full Court Press:

I'm looking for a new exercise for a team course I conduct. The criteria
are:

1) All 18-21 participants are involved at the same time
2) The class is divided into groups of 2-3
3) Interaction between these groups of 2-3 is not essential...
4) Therefore, the exercise is preferably directed at a group of 2 or 3 for
resolution
5) The conflict presentation and the time given over to the small groups
for resolution is very restricted--say, 5 minutes.
6) The purpose is to have participants be able to reflect in the debrief on
their own speedy reactions to conflict, and on the spectrum of resolution
displayed by the groups.

If you know of a simple but effective exercise you've experienced,
would you be kind enough to share it? Unless you think it's something
the entire list may be interested in, send it along to me directly. If I get
several, I'll send along a digest to this list for all to see. In any case, Rick,
I'll leave you as the ultimate arbiter!

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
Best regards,

Barry Mallis bmallis@markem.com
