How It’s Done
The
delegates’ task is to construct a self-supporting bridge of 4 metres
size, using only the 28 sticks provided. It is not allowed to use any
other tools. After first brainstorming in smaller subgroups, all
delegates start constructing the bridge. The key factors for success
are coordination within the group, creativity and sharing of knowledge.
The result will be a self-supporting construction, which can serve as a
metaphor for internal and external team stability.
Another
issue that can be addressed is how teams grow closer, for instance, in
an intercultural environment. The delegates start constructing the
bridge, beginning at two ends. The bridge brings them closer together.
In the end, the two parts of the bridge become one. The key factors for
success are coordination, cooperation and adjustment (as regards the
method of construction) between the two subgroups.
