Improved virtual cooperation with serious games and Team Mental Model
This time it's about virtual collaboration in diverse teams. What leads virtual and diverse teams to success is a so-called Team Mental Model. Every team should have a shared idea about tasks, structures and goals. Divers teams especially have a treasure of experiences through their individual team members. That is useful and has great value for the team, but it can turn the creation of a shared mental model to a challenge. That accounts especially for virtual teams, as communication is not as in face-to-face meetings.
Through the simulation Eternal Ice, developed and conducted by our guest facilitator Sven Olaf Nix of unmute (GP) you will apply the principles of Team Mental Models as a team and experience them first hand.
The Antarctic - Eternal ice covers this hostile continent. Humans live here only in the few research facilities that can withstand the cold. Slip in the roles of the coordination team of the International Antarctica Institute and coordinate the scientific tasks of the researchers from your home office through clever resource management. The responsibility for the entire crew of the Weyprecht Station II lies in your hands!
The simulation is based on Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle and is designed in English, the language among the participants can be decided in the group according to preferences.
This Meet Up will be split into two parts:
For the greatest added value, participants should take part in both sessions.
Part 1: 02.11.2022 5:30pm - 9:00pm
Part 2: 09.11.2022 5:30pm - 21:00pm
MeetUp is offered as a hybrid event: you can participate at 6.00pm from your laptop at home or meet us at InterLokal at 5:30pm! Where you can meet fellow participants in a fun Co-working Cafe environment.
