There are times in a meeting when you might be having friendly table-to-table competitions or using the home teams concept as explained in the next post.
In those instances taking a little time to allow each table to create a “team identity” might be worth the time investment.
Here’s how we do that with an activity we simply call “Commonalities.”
We ask each table to work together to find three commonalities that each person on the table team shares (i.e. we all play golf, we all love pizza, etc.).
The only rules are that whatever the commonalities, they cannot be Observable (“Oh look we all have noses.”) nor Assumable (“We all enjoy magic.”).
The tables are asked to stand up when they have defined their three commonalities.
When all tables are standing, they can then sit down as soon as they’ve created a team name based on the commonalities they’ve discovered.
As the MC, you would then go to each table and learn their team name and also on which commonalities they built that name before proceeding with the meeting.
