How to Create a Team Purpose Quickly • WorkshopBank
How to Create a Team Purpose Quickly • WorkshopBank is a structured group exercise for context sharing: it helps participants share useful personal or project context.
How to run it
- The Purpose is the reason why the team (or organisation) is there. Why it was created. Why it's needed.
- Teams that don’t live and breath their purpose have zero chance of reaching their full potential.
- Most teams don’t bother spending the time to create their purpose though.
- Many point to the fancy purpose created by XYZ Consultants for a bucket load of money back in the day believing that’s enough to focus their thousands of employees.
- Think Start your workshop by asking your team to think about these questions for 5 minutes.
