An Exciting Game Which Aids Communication
Team Talk is a radical and innovative process.
It uses a board game to help team members talk.
It challenges the cult of the expert.
Change throws most people up against the limits of their current competence, encouraging them to reach for an expert to provide know-how. However this assumes that experts themselves have the answers.
“Talk offers the forum and time to bring out the issues.”
Team Talk challenges the assumptions that managers have all the answers. It may take only weeks to introduce new systems or targets, but it takes much longer for people to change their habits and attitudes towards their work.
Team Talk
1. Helps facilitate discussion amongst peers
2. Confirms that the diversity of experience is more likely to hold the creative solutions that many of the complex problems people at work are facing
3. It helps people to understand the process of communication and takes them round the communication cycle
Team Talk challenges people to take responsibility for learning in their teams - not just away from the team on training courses. In this sense it highlights, not just the need to learn, but to learn differently - converting experience into learning is a key skill for teams.
