• Make teams of 2 pairs of participants not knowing each other (too) well
• (Sender + Observer) and (Receiver + Observer)
• Sender thinks of an event to communicate to Receiver
• About something that happened yesterday
• Sender writes it down and shows it to his/her Observer(don’t speak out loud)
• Sender draws a picture as an encoding of the messagethat describes the event
(no words)
• Receiverlooks at the drawing and decodes the message, adding words to the picture
• Receiverwrites it down and explains to his/her Observerhow he/she decoded the
message
• All discuss the process of coding, sending a message and decoding
• Did you recognize the steps in the communication process?
• Was the event correctly communicated?

• Same teams (Never change a winning team!)
• Think of 2 or 3 typical types of congress attendants
• Young – old; professional – commercial; company – government; etc.
• Give them a name, a job, a home, a family, …
All fictitious, but realistic, as if they were sitting right next to you
• Describe their typical behavior. Could you recognize them? How?
• Goals: What are they here for? What do they expect to take home?
• Challenges: When would they be disappointed? What would make them leave?
• So you have created a few persona’s!
• Discuss the results in your team
• What did you learn about the persona’s?
• Do you know / understand them better by now?
[5 min.] Look around and see!

• Same teams (Why not?)
• Imagine you are to develop an app to capture workshop evaluations
• What could be the goal?
• Can you think of a higher goal? Ask the Why?-question.
• Would this goal have sub-goals? Ask How to?-questions.
• What current problems inhibit the goal? And the sub-goals?
• Any other problems for the higher goal?
• Relate these problems and goals to the persona’s of the previous exercise
• Do all persona’s havethe same (view on the same) problems and goals?
• Can a goal for one persona be a problem for another one?
• Discuss the results in your team
• What did you learn about the relation between problems, goals and persona’s?

© 2018, 7skills.org –http://www.7skills.org
• Same teams (You know each other by now …)
• Look at your teammates
• Individually, take a piece of paper for each of your teammates, and write her/his
name on it and (without telling)the Belbin role that you think would fit best
• Now (anonymously), collect your notes from your fellows
• No discussion; do not try to figure out who attributed which role to you
• Study the notes and try to interpret them: this is the waythey see you!
• Similar with your own idea of your role or not?
• All the same or many differences?
• Do you understand why certain roles were attributed to you?
• Next discuss your team composition
• All rolls staffed? (a person can fulfil more than one role!)
• Well balanced team?
[5 min.] Who are you, anyway?

• You PLAY a role – it is not that you ARE that role
• Most people have a ‘preferred’ (dominant) role and
some ‘manageable’ (secondary) roles
• You will be more successful if you are able to play
more roles, depending on the needs of team
• Your team will be more successful if all roles are
adequately staffed

• Still the same teams (sigh …)
• You already worked on an app to capture workshop evaluations
• Go on, let’s make it fantastic!
• No limits but your own imagination
• Enough time and money, top-of-the-bill hardware/software, all specialists at hand
• Each of you writes down her/his best idea for the app on a piece of paper
• Take the paper of your teammate at your right hand
• Based on that idea, add some thoughts to it and pass it to the left (= diverge!)
• Go on until every idea is processed by all members
• Now get them all together and discuss them in the team
• Back to earth!
• Agree on one final solution (= converge!)

• A mind map is a technique used to organize information
• It is created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center,
to which associated representations of ideas are added
• Mind maps are used to generate, visualize,
structure, and classifyideas, as an aid to studying
and organizing information, solving problems, and
making decisions
• It has with many applications business situations,
including brainstorming, summarizing, or to sort
out a complicated idea
• As ideas are inserted radially around the center node,
they do not suffer from the implicit prioritization that comes
from hierarchy or sequential arrangements
• Grouping and organizing is reserved for later stages
