In AgileIndia 2019 in Bangalore, as part of the Agile Mindset theme, I played a tweak of the Taboo game - to make it a Collaboration game.
Abstract:
When one has fun at work, work becomes fun. However, daily pressures, metrics, KPIs, and what not, have dissolved the fun, and made work drudgery in various ways.
This creates stress for individuals, in teams, and across teams, there is mistrust, unnecessary competition, blame, finger-pointing ….
What better way to learn, and re-learn the basics of life, work, team-work - than to play a game, have fun, and correlate it with how life and work indeed should be treated as a game, and we should have fun in this journey. Only then can people truly succeed, and so can organisations.
Here, we will play a game – “Collaboration - A Taboo!” – where you will
- Re-learn collaboration techniques via a game!
- Learning applicable for individuals and teams, in small or big organisations
- Re-live your childhood when playing this game
Be prepared for a twist which will leave you thinking!
