Collaboration Puzzle

Reaching the same height

$298.00

Collaboration Puzzle is an exercise in self-organization. With no instructions, a team must find a way to insert eight dowels of varying lengths into an upright frame so that each dowel protrudes at the same height. They are only allowed 100 ‘movements’ so they must quickly identify the essential tasks, communicate with precision, and learn from their mistakes. Use this tool to practice teamwork, problem-solving, and Agile project management.

The trainer takes the team to a 'work room,' where the frame and six dowels are set on a table. Two dowels are in the frame and the trainer explains that only one is in the correct position. Participants are given 10 seconds to observe the puzzle, and may not touch it.

The team then moves to a 'meeting room' to strategize and prepare to return to the work room, one person at a time, in an order they decide. Each person may make two 'movements' with the puzzle per visit, and the team is allowed 100 movements total. Once each person has taken a turn, they start over again in the same order. No talking is allowed between the two rooms.

The goal is to complete the activity in as few movements as possible, and in 45 minutes or less.
