The Project Starting the seminar day off the right way is essential to any successful team or communication-focused process. Surprise your delegates with the Team Navigator! This training tool allows you to turn the introduction of your seminar schedule into an interactive and process-oriented activity. This way, your seminar becomes an important team experience for the group - right from the start! With the Team Navigator, you boost cooperation and a positive group feeling from the outset. Or, use it later during the process for teamwork and management training! |

| How It's Done All
delegates form a circle around the Team Navigator. Every person picks
up one or two of the ropes. The goal is to move the pen in the centre
across a sheet of paper and draw an arbitrary shape, e.g. the company
logo. Another possibility is to draw along a maze set by the trainer. “Name
compass”: Symbolically, the team members draw their way through the
seminar day, following the lines of a maze. They experience in advance
both swift progress and encounter potential bumps in the road. Instead
of giving each other directions in the usual way (“up”, “down”, “left”,
“right,” etc.), delegates must only use each other’s names (“Claudia
and Tom!”). This is an unusual way of learning names that sets your
seminar apart from anything the delegates have seen before. The trainer
may also prepare the paper sheet in advance with facilitation cards
half hidden in slits. “Guide
dog”: 4 - 6 delegates put on blindfolds. The others take the lead and
verbally coordinate the drawing activity. The ‘blind’ experience the
importance of sharing essential information; the seeing discover just
how much precise instructions help overall success.
