Activity: Barriers to CSS

The Helium Stick activity encourages teamwork and communication as participants attempt to lower a stick to the ground while keeping it level. Team members line up facing each other and must keep their fingers in contact with the stick at all times. Through this exercise, teams confront barriers to collaboration, reflect on unexpected outcomes, and learn the importance of trust and communication. This activity mirrors project dynamics, highlighting how plans can go awry and how teams must adapt and work together effectively to overcome obstacles in achieving their goals.

  3. Activity: Barriers to CSS • This mirrors the business dynamic of projects starting out well, but quickly going awry. Why is that? Sometimes the best laid plans just don’t work out. What you do as a team when plans go awry has everything to do with team work, trust and communication. Teams come away from this activity with a deeper understanding of how they work best together
