What does becoming a winning team actually involve? Your participants will have a much better chance of becoming a winning team if they have a concrete, shared idea of what a winning team is. Before they can start on the journey towards becoming a winning team, the participants must spend some time discussing and agreeing what the final outcome would ‘look like’. This is a good moment to share with them a well-known phrase that illustrates the whole purpose behind this particular session: ‘If you’re not sure where you’re going … you’re bound to end up somewhere else!’
Participants work in small teams and discuss their current working environment and how they would like the future to be. They then capture the key elements of their discussion in two pictures: one showing their current situation, the other the future. The teams are then encouraged to discuss their underlying feelings and concerns, which in turn leads to their developing a commitment to the changes they have identified.
